Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahçeli called for early elections

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli called for early elections on Aug. 26, 2018.

"It should be known that the MHP wants early elections after the adjustment laws are enacted," said Bahçeli, speaking at the party's parliamentary group on Tuesday.

"Electing the president on Aug. 26,..., is the most rational and reasonable way forward," he said.

President Tayyip Erdoğan and Devlet Bahçeli will meet tomorrow.

On April 16, 2017 Turkey held a referendum which asked voters to decide on an 18-article bill to switch from a parliamentary to a presidential system.

The parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled to take place in November 2019. (AA)
