Election date discussions have heated up in Parliament following the beginning of the New Year’s opening parliamentary term.
The opposition Nationalist Movement Party, or MHP, submitted a proposal to Parliament on Tuesday to set the date for the general election as June 12, a date first mentioned by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in November 2010.
The proposal by MHP group deputy chairmen Oktay Vural and Mehmet Şandır carried the signatures of 22 other party members.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in November 2010 that “serious evaluations were made within the party, and the Central Executive Board is leaning towards June 12” as the most convenient date, taking into consideration the summer vacation period.
Meanwhile, Republican People’s Party, or CHP, leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said Tuesday there were rumors circulating that the date could be brought forward to May and that the earliest date possible would be best for the CHP.
Kılıçdaroğlu said again on Wednesday that the date needs to be set as soon as possible so that political parties could determine their own roadmaps. The CHP would be fine with any of the dates mentioned he said.
