Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has reiterated that the opposition coalition will select its presidential candidate after internal deliberations, denying one of his closest aide's statement that he will be the CHP's nominee for the next presidential elections.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has stated that the government wants to imprison him and called on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to lift his immunity because he is not afraid of it.

The CHP leader shared a video on his Twitter account on July 3, saying that "Let's lift my immunity right now; let's do it together."

The Turkish Presidency has submitted a motion to the parliament seeking the removal of the parliamentary immunity of 20 deputies, including Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP).

The Nation Alliance should agree on a common candidate for the presidential elections, the İYİ (Good) Party leader has said, stressing that the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) should nominate its own contender as it is not a member of the oppositional alliance.

The People's Alliance will introduce its own constitutional draft to people's discretion in the absence of a consensus reached among political parties, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, vowing a new civilian charter will raise Turkey to the highest democracy level in the world.

Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is about to complete drafting bills to amend the Election Law and Law on Political Parties which foresee reducing the current 10 percent election threshold to 7 percent, daily Milliyet has reported.

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said although they do not have an alliance with the People's Democratic Party (HDP), to show HDP, which is an active member of the parliament, as hostile is inappropriate.

The political parties of the Nation Alliance and the People Alliance have agreed on the candidates for the Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK), the first consensus between the two rival camps.

Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gül on May 20 announced that the People Alliance and the Nation Alliance have agreed at the commission of parliament.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 18 had a meeting with Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli.

The meeting came following the introduction of a 100-article constitutional draft by the MHP on May 4.

In February, Erdoğan urged all political parties to participate in drafting a new constitution, with Bahçeli voicing the agreement.

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) will soon introduce its proposals for replacing the current executive-presidential system with a strengthened parliamentary model and launch a political discussion about them.
