Istanbul, Dhu-AlQa'dah 6, 1436, Aug 21, 2015, SPA -- Turks will be called back to the ballot box on November 1 for the second legislative election this year, after parties failed to agree on a coalition in an initial round, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during televised remarks Friday. "Currently, the date that has been announced in November 1," Erdogan said, as cited by the state-run Anadolu news agency. The election board had proposed this date. According to dpa, the snap elections come just months after the last poll in June, which saw the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which Erdogan helped found, fail to achieve a majority in parliament for the first time since it swept to power in 2002. Coalition talks saw wide divides between the AKP and the other three parties in parliament, in part over the role Erdogan would play in governance. Erdogan was directly elected as president last year. He has since taken on powers not wielded by his predecessor as head of state and has called for this de facto situation to be recognized through constitutional changes. --SPA 21:21 LOCAL TIME 18:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
