Today, President Hasan Çakar has announced that the Hasani government will prepare to hold general elections for legislative seats and regional governors in the later months of this years. The elections will be significant as they will be the first legislative elections in the nation's history, as well as the first local gubernatorial election since Batyr's 2013 prime election.
The elections are planned to be held to elect five seats in the Congress, which currently sits together as a unicameral house due to its size and will do so for the foreseeable future, and the Governors of Ardajan, Batyr, Çobanistan and possibly Köktuğluk. President Çakar has said that there still needs to be plans laid out for how campaigning and the election itself will operate and a new electoral law will be implemented for this election. There are discussions of either using a party-list proportional system, such as the D'Hondt method, or a majoritarian method, such as block voting or first-past-the-post. Çakar has said he wants a new government to be democratically-approved, meaning that incumbent Prime Minister Shady Morsi may be asked to step down so as to contest his position.
The elections are planned for sometime between September and November, depending on how the parties react to the potential election and how many candidates register.
