 Erdogan announces 2023 presidential candidacy 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday announced he will be the presidential candidate for the People’s Alliance with the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), responding to the opposition’s demands that a candidate is determined, AzVision.az reports citing Daily Sabah. 

Speaking during a ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) event in western Izmir, Erdoğan called on the chairperson of the Republican People's Party (CHP) Kemal Kılıcdaroglu and said: “You continually say ‘the candidate of the People’s Alliance should be determined.’ Here I say it, the candidate of the People’s Alliance is Tayyip Erdogan.”

The president also reiterated that elections would take place in June 2023 and not earlier.
