Government Rejects Early Election Motion Citing Global Conflicts
The coalition government of the National Unity Party (UBP), Re-Birth Party (YDP), and Democratic Party (DP) rejected the Republican Turkish Party's (CTP) motion for early elections, citing ongoing global conflicts as a primary reason.
Prime Minister Ünal Üstel, speaking after CTP leader Tufan Erhürman, emphasized that the government’s focus is on the budget, not elections. "Our position has always been clear: elections will take place in 2027," Üstel said.
He highlighted regional and global turmoil, stating, "The Mediterranean is a powder keg. The Israel-Palestine war, the ongoing conflicts in Syria, and the Russia-Ukraine war have caused significant distress. Additionally, Southern Cyprus is practically a military base with American and British soldiers and warships stationed there. These issues also contribute to economic challenges."
Üstel reaffirmed the government’s stance, saying, "In such a volatile environment, an early election is not on our agenda. Elections will take place as scheduled in 2027."
Following these remarks, the motion was put to a vote and was rejected by the government majority.
