President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s 2025 appointment of legal experts to draft a new constitution, followed by June 2026 statements from the AKP and Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş expressing optimism for adoption in 2026-2027, have kept the issue on the agenda. However, the process has not advanced to the parliamentary votes or official referendum announcement required under the current rules, which demand broad legislative support exceeding the ruling coalition’s reliable majority. Turkey's ruling AKP coalition holds roughly 321 seats in the 600-seat parliament, short of the 360-vote threshold required to initiate a constitutional referendum or the 400 needed for direct parliamentary amendment. Preparatory drafting through a presidential commission appointed in 2025 has advanced without securing cross-party backing or legislative progress sufficient for an official announcement by December 31, 2026. Party statements project possible movement in 2027 or later, with emphasis instead on the 2028 election cycle, leaving trader consensus at an 86.5% implied probability against a 2026 referendum announcement.
