50+1 commentary from AKP officials! 'Balances change, alliances change'

AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s statement that “it would be appropriate to change the 50+1 requirement” has shifted the political agenda.

Following this statement by Erdoğan, there was curiosity regarding what MHP's stance would be. All eyes have turned to the meeting expected to take place on Thursday between President Erdoğan and MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli.

It is stated that the “50+1” system, which Erdoğan said should be changed and which is planned to be brought to Parliament as part of a constitutional package, will also be on the agenda during the meeting expected between Erdoğan and Bahçeli on Thursday.

According to a report by Hürriyet; it is also expected in the corridors that the two leaders will evaluate the alliance efforts carried out by the AKP and MHP delegations for the local elections and finalize them.

"BALANCES CHANGE, ALLIANCES CHANGE"

The 50+1 regulation has been debated within the AKP since the day it was brought to the agenda. AKP officials made the assessment, “Balances change, alliances change. At the very beginning, 40+1 was the latest debate. Or should the one who comes in first win, like in municipal elections? It has not been clarified yet; we will discuss this issue.”
