Turkey will hold a snap election on Nov. 1 and an interim government will be formed in the meantime, if necessary with members from outside parliament, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, Reuters reported Aug. 21.
Erdogan will ask Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu early next week to form the temporary power-sharing government, senior officials said, after weeks of efforts to agree a coalition with opposition parties ahead of an Aug. 23 deadline failed.
