Former AK Party MKYK member Şamil Tayyar made a claim that will be widely discussed regarding his party's agenda. Tayyar stated that the AKP is considering holding a constitutional referendum at the end of 2026.
"I AM SAYING THIS AS INFORMATION" Tayyar, speaking as a commentator on TGRT News, said, "The AK Party is considering a new constitutional referendum towards the end of 2026. I see those preparations. I am saying this as information. If the resolution process reaches a conclusion and a common consensus text emerges, the market has already 'bought' the possibility of a referendum, whether or not the number of 400 deputies is exceeded. In other words, there is such a possibility after exceeding 360. The timing initially seems to be in the autumn of 2026, but it could also be in the spring of 2027," he stated.
Şamil Tayyar "I EXPECT EARLY ELECTIONS IN THE AUTUMN OF 2027" Indicating that the election calendar will start to operate depending on the outcome of the referendum, Tayyar said, "If the referendum takes place in the spring of 2027 and is accepted with a high vote, I expect an early election in the autumn of 2027. Or, if the referendum takes place in the autumn of 2026 and a result that meets expectations emerges, there could be an early election in the spring of 2027. This is a prediction. But there is a preparation for a referendum. Let me say that as information," he added.
