Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop has suggested that there is no legal obstacle in front of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's presidential candidacy after three oppositional parties appealed to the election watchdog for the annulment of Erdoğan's bid on the grounds he has already been elected twice for the post.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reiterated that 85 million Turkish people will together build the Century of Türkiye as the country is marking the centennial of its foundation while struggling for the recovery of millions of people affected by the most devastating disaster of the world.

''As the People's Alliance, we will write the epic of May 14 together with those who have joined us and the friends who will join us," President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on March 11 via videoconference at the AKP Provincial Heads Meeting.

The six-party Nation Alliance has challenged President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's eligibility to run for the presidency in the upcoming elections on the grounds that the Turkish constitution stipulates that a person can run for the highest seat of the Turkish state only twice.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has signaled that Türkiye will go to the simultaneous presidential and parliamentary polls on May 14, 35 days earlier than the slated day, vowing that his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) will claim another victory against the six-party oppositional alliance.
