Former AKP deputy Şamil Tayyar made a noteworthy post on his social media account.
Suggesting that Ankara is very active and that politics will enter a new lane starting in July, Tayyar put forward a striking claim regarding the candidacy of AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Ankara is very active.
— Şamil Tayyar (@samiltayyar27) May 16, 2026
Politics seems set to enter a new lane, especially from July onwards.
The political atmosphere is pregnant with major political events.
Activity may increase after the July 7/8 NATO Summit, which the government attaches great importance to.
Political relations, alliances, the distribution across the spectrum...
Noting that activity could increase after the NATO Summit in July, Tayyar stated, "Political relations, alliances, and the distribution across the spectrum could be redefined, narrowed, or expanded. This mobility could strengthen the possibility of a new Constitution and systemic revision."
In the continuation of his post, Tayyar drew attention to the CHP's 'absolute nullity' lawsuit and the US-Iran war, noting the following:
"Amid the heat of the agenda, it is seen that our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has more than one plan through which he can find the necessary support for his re-election, and he is the most comfortable in this regard.
Within this intensity, I have not sensed any 'snap early election' calculation, nor do I consider it likely.
A hot summer is around the corner."
The full text of Tayyar's post is as follows:
"Ankara is very active.

This mobility could strengthen the possibility of a new Constitution and systemic revision.
Back-channel diplomacy continues; unexpected hot developments and contacts are taking place.
Two high-impact events of this process will be the resolution process and the absolute nullity lawsuit within the CHP.
The course of the Iran war could even overshadow the domestic political agenda.
Amid the heat of the agenda, it is seen that our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has more than one plan through which he can find the necessary support for his re-election, and he is the most comfortable in this regard.
Within this intensity, I have not sensed any 'snap early election' calculation, nor do I consider it likely.
