Arıklı: Early "Elections" Most Suitable in Early May

According to Erhan Arıklı, the “Minister of Public Works and Transport” and president of the Renaissance Party (RP) in the occupied territories, the most suitable period for early “elections” is in early May. He stated that 2026 will be an “election year” and that the RP is ready, but prefers not to harm “the country and the people” with a delayed electoral process. Mr. Arıklı referred to the upcoming party conference, which, according to the statutes, should have been held in 2024, but a postponement to March 2027 is being considered. He reiterated his intention to retire from politics when he reaches the age of 65.
