The Supreme Election Board (YSK) set the date of the election as Nov. 1.

The answer to "Why not Nov. 8?" came in a meteorological nature: "Weather conditions could be bad in some of Turkey's regions."

I surfed the internet yesterday and there was no information whatsoever that there will be major changes in the temperatures in the first week of November.

Having begun work to form an interim government to act until snap elections scheduled for Nov. 1, Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu has finally sent letters of proposal to deputies of other parties, asking them to take part in the pre-election government.

The Supreme Election Board officially announced on Tuesday that the early general elections in Turkey will be held on November 1.

When considering the exact date of the elections, the board took into account the approaching winter, particularly in eastern and southeastern Turkey, Anadolu Agency informs.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has said he is confident that none of his party's deputies will accept being a part of an interim pre-election cabinet headed by the Justice and Development Party (AKP), speaking at a press conference in Ankara on Aug. 25.

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has ignored the results of the June 7 election and Turkey, for first time in its political history, will go to early elections because parties failed to form a government, Republican People's Party (CHP) deputy chairman Haluk Koç  said on Aug. 25.

The opposition's criticism of the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) way of handling failed coalition talks has put its leader, incumbent Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu, on the defensive, as he fiercely defended his self-made roadmap to form an interim power-sharing government.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan officially announced late on Monday the holding of renewed general elections in the country.

The statement of Erdogan came a day after the deadline on forming a coalition government expired on Sunday.

Following a four-hour meeting with Parliament Speaker Ismet Yilmaz on Monday, the Turkish president announced the re-election.

The incumbent Justice and Development Party (AKP) government dragged the country into terror and violence, the Republican People's Party (CHP) has said, vowing to resolve the Kurdish issue on the basis of "democracy and justice" by coming to power in the upcoming early election.

Science, Industry and Technology Minister Fikri I??k has called on the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) to pave the way for fresh elections through a parliament decision before the night of Aug. 23, if it wants to prevent the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) from being part of any interim pre-election government.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) has begun reviewing its options after the Supreme Election Board (YSK) suggested Sept. 8 in its election calendar draft as a possible date for CHP primaries. Turkey is expected to hold an early parliamentary election on Nov. 1, in line with an earlier proposal by the YSK.
