A new chairman of Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly (parliament) will be named today, AzVision.az reports.

The General Assembly of Parliament will gather for this purpose at 14:00 local time.

There will be a secret vote.

In order for one of the candidates to be elected in the first two rounds, the votes of 400 MPs will be required. If 400 votes are not obtained in the first two rounds, a third round of voting will be held. In this round, 301 votes will be enough to be elected as the chairman of the parliament. If the election goes to the fourth round, the candidate with the majority of votes will be elected a chairman.
