(10 Jun 2015) A Turkish opposition legislator said on Wednesday that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was open to all possible coalition options, including a partnership which would exclude the ruling party that he founded.
Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) legislator Deniz Baykal spoke to reporters opn Wednesday after a meeting with Erdogan.
As the oldest elected legislator, Baykal is expected to head the new parliament until a new speaker is elected.
The ruling Justice and Development Party lost its parliamentary majority in Sunday's elections, forcing it to seek a coalition partnership or a fragile minority government with other parties' support.
Early elections loom if no deal is reached.
Baykal said that Erdogan hoped that the political uncertainty is quickly overcome.
The result was a rebuke to Erdogan who had campaigned for a ruling party victory.
