The six opposition parties that have united to restore the parliamentary system of government in Turkey have formed a commission to discuss the legal mechanisms of the transition period.

The commission will also discuss the future duties and powers of the president, the work of the cabinet, the appointment of ministers and changes to parliamentary regulations and the law on political parties, Diken reported.

The six political parties, including the main opposition People's Republican Party (PRP), formed an alliance based on a common set of principles aimed at abolishing Turkey's presidential system of government, which gave Recep Tayyip Erdoğan broad executive powers in 2018.

 The parties began talks last year after opinion polls showed that Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party were facing declining public support ahead of elections scheduled for June 2023.

The parties are also working to nominate a single candidate to run against Erdoğan in the elections.
