The 2028 Elections and Their Implications

The presidential elections of 2028 could be a turning point in Turkey's political history. Given Erdoğan's track record in past elections and his ability to mobilize supporters, it is expected that he will face serious challenges from his rivals. Currently, opposition parties, especially the Republican People's Party and the Good Party, are working to unite their forces to compete against Erdoğan and the Justice and Development Party.

Erdoğan, who has faced significant criticism in recent years for his domestic and foreign policies, is now seeking to solidify his position in the upcoming elections. This re-election could lead to deeper changes and transformations in Turkey's domestic and foreign policies, especially as Turkey is recognized as a key player in regional and international crises, and Erdoğan's decisions could have wide-ranging impacts on Turkey's relations with other countries.
