The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) have said they will support an early election instead of initiating a "regime change" after the ruling Justice and Development Party and opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) said an early election would be held if a contentious charter package is not approved by parliament, Hurriyet reports.
"Instead of attempting such a regime change today, we as the CHP give full support for a decision of an early election that will be taken this evening," CHP group deputy chairperson Özgür Özel said.
Stating that he was speaking on behalf of CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Özel said: "Bring it on."
