Erdoğan signed the order to hold Turkish elections.
According to the Washington Post, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan officially announced that the country’s parliamentary and presidential elections will be held one month earlier than the previous time, on May 14 (May 24), despite last month’s devastating earthquake in Turkey. .
Erdogan, who is seeking to extend his two-decade rule over Turkey, officially signed the order to hold elections today. He has been in power since 2003 (first as prime minister and then as president since 2014), but it is said that this year’s election will be his most challenging election campaign.
The time to hold Turkish presidential elections has been officially signed by Erdogan while the country is still suffering from last month’s deadly earthquake in this country. Two earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 and 7.8 shook 11 provinces of Turkey last month, which have left more than 46 thousand victims.
Erdoğan also claimed that the construction work of 300,000 residential units will be completed within a year, and the election will not interrupt it.
