Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli says his party will not put forward city mayoral candidates for Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir in competition with President Erdogan's AK Party in the March 2019 municipal elections.
As President Erdogan was re-elected on Sunday to lead Turkey, we spoke to Ahmet Tarik Celenk, a prominent political analyst, who explained what Erdogan's victory implies in local and geopolitical contexts.
With less than a day till the 2018 presidential and general elections in Turkey, here's a look at the political parties running, and their political inclinations.
An unpredictable politician, Bahceli is once again at the center of power politics. What makes him so significant?
Turkey's political discourse has markedly changed from previous elections. The need to gather a popular majority for a presidential candidate is forcing parties to broaden their appeal with more inclusive messaging.
With election activities in full swing, party flags, posters and campaign tents of political parties across Istanbul portray a contentious political atmosphere ahead of Turkey's upcoming polls.
Turks will go to the polls on June 24 to decide their future president, who will govern for the next five years. Members of the parliament will be elected, too. Ahead of the elections we take a close look at the main presidential candidates.
Avni Ozgurel, a prominent nationalist analyst, who has long been around Bahceli’s power circles, thinks AK Party-MHP alliance will turn into political unity after the elections.
Opposition parties CHP, HDP, IYI say they are all ready for June 24 presidential and parliamentary elections, a day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the snap polls.
The Turkish government said it would evaluate MHP leader Devlet Bahceli's call to bring forward elections scheduled for November 2019 to August 26 this year.
Turkey's main opposition the Republican People's Party’s (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) express support for the country's cross-border operation in Syria's Afrin.
