According to Gazete Duvar, while current Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş is expected to be a candidate for a second term, it has been learned that there are other names being discussed within the AKP for the Parliament Speaker candidacy.
According to the corridors, the names of former Vice President and current Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Fuat Oktay, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Bekir Bozdağ, and Group Deputy Chairman Abdulhamit Gül are being mentioned for the Parliament Speaker position. It is being discussed that this number may increase further as the election approaches.
