Erdogan seeks 2028 candidacy, circumventing term limits

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intends to run for another term in an early election in 2028 to avoid a constitutional ban on re-election after a full term. The information was provided by one of his senior advisors. Erdogan has ruled Turkey since 2003 — first as prime minister, then as president since 2014 — and would be seeking a fourth term.
