Ankara: Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday announced that elections will be held on May 14, a month earlier than scheduled, according to a video shared by his office Sunday.
Erdogan, who plans to seek re-election, made the announcement during a Saturday youth conference in northwestern Bursa province. A video of the event was released on Sunday.
“I thank God that we are destined to share our path with you, our valued youth, who will vote for the first time in the elections that will be held on May 14,” said Erdogan.
“This is not an early election but bringing it forward,” Erdogan said in a video from his meeting with young people in Bursa, shared by the presidency.
Turkey’s presidential and parliamentary elections were scheduled to be held on June 18 but President Erdogan previously signalled that the vote could be brought forward, reported Khaleej Times.
An official of his AK Party has previously said that an election in June would coincide with the summer holiday season when people travel.
This year’s elections were supposed to take place in June. Still, ruling party members said that month would coincide with summer and religious holidays, prompting an earlier date, reported The Washington Post.
If no candidate secures more than 50 per cent of the vote, a second round of voting would be held on May 28, reported The Washington Post.
Erdogan has been in office since 2003 — first as prime minister and as president since 2014.
This will be the most challenging election for the Turkish strongman who has been in power for two decades shaping the predominantly Muslim but officially secular country’s politics.
Opinion polls show the parliamentary and presidential elections will be tight and will mark Erdogan’s biggest test in his two decades at the reins of the regional military power, NATO member and major emerging market economy, reported Khaleej Times.
The May 14 election date was also supported by the opposition alliance still arguing over the choice of a united candidate against the 68-year-old leader.
A six-party opposition alliance has yet to put forth a presidential candidate. A pro-Kurdish party that is the third-largest in parliament has so far been excluded from the alliance and said it might field its own candidate, reported The Washington Post.
Erdogan, 68, introduced a system of governance in 2018 that abolished the office of the prime minister and concentrated most powers in the hands of the president. The office of the president was primarily a ceremonial post before then. Under the new system, presidential and parliamentary elections are held on the same day.
The opposition has blamed Turkey’s economic downturn and an erosion of civil rights and freedoms on Erdogan, saying the revised government system amounts to “one-man rule.”

Dr. Farooq Abdullah has resigned as the party’s president, and elections are due to take place next month, thus the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference will soon have a new president.
Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister and vice president of the party, is most likely to succeed as president. The election scheduled on December 5 will, however, determine that.
Tanvir Sadiq, the chief spokesman for the party, was quoted by Excelsior as saying that Abdullah has resigned as NC president and that elections would take place on December 5. The mausoleum of the party’s founder, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, at Hazratbal, would host the polls, he claimed, and a notice to that effect will be issued soon.
Prior to this announcement, Abdullah made it known that he would be stepping down as party leader at a meeting of the In-charge Segments, district presidents, and other provincial office bearers held at the party headquarters in Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar. But he will stay in office until the elections are held.
Dr. Abdullah announced his choice and urged the party leaders to take control of the party in an emotional speech at the party headquarters while crying. He said that his health no longer allowed him to lead the party.
In the discussion, Abdullah urged the party’s officials to grow the organisation and connect with voters in their various districts. The current state of the Valley and party issues were discussed at the conference. The party officials also gave the party president an update on the ongoing party events in their respective sectors.
Abdullah outlined the difficulties that the populace was experiencing and urged them to collaborate closely with locals. “Our ground force must serve as a link between the government and the populace. We must prioritise the needs of the general populace in addition to our just and peaceful campaign for the restoration of our rights. To ease people’s difficulties, you must provide excellent service, he stated.
The constituency in-charges were instructed by the senior party officials to be prepared for elections whenever they take place. They said that because the NC had already passed a resolution to this effect, there would be no pre-poll alliance. They said that the PAGD would continue to function as a forum and that each party would run its own campaign. “It serves a greater cause. It is a platform for the defence of Article 370 and Statehood, not for any pre-election coalition, they said.
Omar Abdullah, the vice president of the party, also spoke to the crowd. He also emphasised the need for party building. Ali Muhammad Sagar, the party’s general secretary, provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani, chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq, senior leaders Abdul Rahim Rather, Mubarak Gul, Shameema Firdous, Nazir Gurezi, and Muhammad Syed Akhoon, Zonal Presidents Ali Muhammad Dar and Javed Dar, Dr. Bashir Ahmed Veeri, district presidents, constituency in-charges, and other provincial office holders were also present.
