The process of collecting 100,000 signatures for the presidential candidates to be nominated by voters continues.

The leader of the Homeland Party Muharrem İnce and Ata Alliance candidate Sinan Oğan have both obtained 100.000 signatures, thus, the number of candidates to compete in the presidential election has gone up to four.

Appeals will be finalized on March 30.

The final list of presidential candidates will be published in the Official Gazette on March 31.

On April 1, a lottery will be drawn at the Supreme Election Council (YSK) to determine the candidates’ places on the combined ballot paper.
