The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) officially delivered a charter draft to the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) on Tuesday, days after the leaders of both parties agreed on principles over constitutional changes that will pave the way for the adoption of a presidential system.
MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli had earlier said the party would decide on its stance on a constitutional bid after evaluating the AKP’s draft.
The governmental preparation for the presidential system was accelerated with Bahçeli’s comments. When his call met with a positive response from AKP officials, Bahçeli underlined that his party would decide on its stance in the parliamentary vote after evaluating the ruling party’s draft.
