It is stated that the only way out for the People's Alliance is by-elections. According to lawyers, while a change in law is needed for President Erdogan to be a candidate for the third time, the support of the opposition is also needed for the Parliament to decide on early elections.
 
However, it is stated that the only way out for Erdogan to be a candidate again before going to the opposition's door is by-elections. While the number of vacant members in the parliament should reach 30 for the midterm elections, the number of vacant seats in the parliament is 15. When this number increases to 30, Erdogan can become a presidential candidate again without going to the opposition's door.
 
While our country is discussing the "New Constitution" on the one hand, on the other hand, the answer to the question "Is there an early election at the door?"
 
While President Erdogan's "reform in law and economy" and then "new Constitution" statements were interpreted as preparations for the election, on the other hand, the question "Can President Erdogan be a candidate for the third time?" Began to be asked under the head.
 
According to the lawyers, Erdogan's candidacy for the elections to be held in 2023 (on time) is not possible, but if the election is delayed, the support of the opposition is required. In this case, it is stated that the best formula for President Erdogan to be a candidate is by-elections.
 

BY-ELECTION CAN BE DONE WITHOUT NEEDING OPPOSITION

 
On the other hand, the ruling party's efforts to complete its congresses rapidly despite the pandemic conditions, on the other hand, are interpreted as election preparations. However, it is stated that the best election formula for the People's Alliance is by-elections. According to the current Constitution, it is stated that it is not possible for President Erdogan to be a candidate in the election to be held in time, and only the Parliament needs to take an early election decision in order to be a candidate again. However, the opposition is also needed for the Parliament to take early elections. In this case, it is stated that the formula of being a candidate again without the need for opposition for the government is only by-election.
 

THE BEST FORMULA BY-ELECTION

 
For a by-election, the number of vacant members in the parliament must reach 5 percent (30 deputies). When 30 seats are vacant in the parliament, Turkey must go to by-elections within 3 months. Currently, the number of members diminishing in the parliament has reached 15. The removal of their attorneys may be on the agenda if the summary and ongoing investigations regarding HDP deputies result in convictions. In this way, when the number of vacant seats reaches 30, Turkey has to go to the elections within 3 months. When this formula is realized, there will be no need for an early election decision with the support of neither the new Constitution nor the opposition in the Parliament for Erdogan's candidacy. It is stated that the best formula for holding an election and for Erdogan to be a candidate again without the need for opposition is the midterm elections.
