Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan can stay in power until 2029, The Guardian reported.

He has been given a major boost in his quest to transform Turkey into a president-led republic, after nationalists in parliament signaled their support for a controversial proposal to amend the constitution and allow him to stay in office until 2029.

According to some officials, the post of a prime minister would be abolished, and the president would have two deputies as well as greater power to enact executive policies.
