Judges in top court divided over presidential elections
The presidential election has divided the judges of the judicial watchdog. The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) argues that at least 367 deputies have to attend a presidential vote in order for that session to be legally valid.

Constitutional Court President Tulay Tugcu earlier said if an application to call off the presidential election was made to the court it would take only a couple of days to issue a ruling. However Deputy President Hasim Kilic stated in a recent declaration that the court might need more time in order to give its members and rapporteurs the opportunity to examine the situation in detail.

Kilic said according to the law their rapporteurs had the right to request up to a month to examine parliamentary bylaws and related constitutional provisions to decide whether the number of deputies who participated in the voting session was adequate.
