AKP Deputy Chairman Ali İhsan Yavuz made statements regarding the election date. Stating that bringing the election forward by one or two weeks would be considered timely, Yavuz said, "If the Grand National Assembly of Turkey decides to hold a new election shortly before the scheduled time with 360 deputies, it will pave the way for our President's re-candidacy."
AK Party Deputy Chairman and Head of Election Affairs Ali İhsan Yavuz revealed a noteworthy election formula amid discussions about President Erdoğan's potential re-candidacy.

Zeynel Emre, spokesperson for the NEW Party, stated that regarding Erdoğan's potential re-candidacy, the Parliament must decide on holding new elections according to the Constitution, adding that the People's Alliance does not have 360 members of parliament.
AK Party Deputy Chairman Ali İhsan Yavuz said that even if the Grand National Assembly were to bring the election forward by one week, "it would be enough for Erdoğan to run for re-election."
AK Party Deputy Chairman and Head of Election Affairs Ali İhsan Yavuz made assessments regarding the election calendar.

Journalist Ercan Gürses discussed the early election debates and the dates being considered. Gürses stated that two options were being considered regarding the date, and that the formula favored by the AK Party was one that would "not cause significant losses during the President's current term."
