What is the maximum term length of the President of the Republic of Türkiye, and how many times may an individual be elected consecutively?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Five years, up to two terms
- Step 1: Article 101 of the 1982 Constitution specifies that the President is elected directly by popular vote for a term of five years.
- Step 2: A person may be elected to the office of President of the Republic for a maximum of two consecutive terms.
Answer
Five years, up to two terms.
Why not the others: 'Four years, up to three terms' is incorrect; 'Six years, single term only' was never adopted in Türkiye; 'Seven years, up to two terms' was the pre-2007 presidential term length (one non-renewable 7-year term).
