According to Yeniçağ, Presidential Chief Advisor Mehmet Uçum said "Erdoğan's candidacy is settled, there is no obstacle before him," while lawyer Ömer Faruk Eminağaoğlu argued, citing election law provisions, that running again is not possible.
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said they will hold elections in 2028 to re-elect Erdoğan. Eminağaoğlu's objection is based on the relevant articles of the election law.
