Can Erdogan's son be the heir?

According to a report by Bloomberg, the youngest son of Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is actively involved in the process of selecting government personnel. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

There is also a possibility that he is being prepared as his father's successor in the future. According to Turkish legislation, Erdogan must leave the presidency in 2028.

However, according to some information, his family and the leadership of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) plan to transfer power to his son after this term. If early elections are held by the parliament or constitutional amendments are made, Erdogan may run for the presidency again.

Bloomberg's analyses emphasize that the internal political and international conditions are considered suitable for such a succession process. However, there is no official confirmation on this matter yet.

It is known that Erdogan has been serving as Turkey's president since 2014. Prior to that, he served as prime minister from 2003 to 2014.

In the 2023 presidential elections, he won in the second round with 52.18 percent of the vote. The next presidential elections in Turkey are scheduled for 2028.
