Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its nationalist ally have repeatedly stated that presidential and parliamentary elections will occur on schedule in 2028, with no plans to call an early vote in 2026. The next regular contest is set for early May 2028 under the five-year cycle following the 2023 vote. President Erdogan faces a two-term limit under the current executive presidential system, but the constitution permits a third candidacy only if parliament approves an early election by a three-fifths majority of 360 seats; the governing alliance holds roughly 328 seats and has shown no interest in seeking opposition support to meet that threshold. Recent opposition fragmentation and legal proceedings against figures such as Ekrem İmamoğlu have not altered the government's position against advancing the timeline. Traders price the low likelihood of a 2026 early election accordingly, consistent with official statements prioritizing the regular schedule.
