How Türkiye’s government works: A complete guide to political system

Türkiye transitioned to a presidential system in 2018 after a constitutional referendum, granting the president significant executive powers. Previously, the country operated under a parliamentary system where the president held a largely symbolic role, and a prime minister led the government. Now, the president is directly elected by the people and can serve up to two five-year terms, with the possibility of a third term through a special decision by the Grand National Assembly. The president appoints and can dismiss cabinet members, including 18 ministerial positions, and holds authority over implementing the constitution, promulgating laws, and submitting constitutional amendments to public referendums. The legislative branch, the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, comprises 600 members elected from the country’s 81 provinces and is responsible for enacting laws.
