The time is near, and know that the people will do everything necessary on May 14, Erdogan said during a speech at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party.

Recently, Habertürk TV channel, citing its own sources, reported that amid a series of devastating earthquakes, which have hit the country, general elections could be postponed for a period of six months to a year.

According to the publication, the High Electoral Commission (YSK) will present a corresponding initiative at the request of the ruling party.

Speaking on the same matter, presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin indicated a trend towards holding general elections in May, unless there is a reverse political consensus in the coming days.
