The leader of the National Unity Party and Prime Minister Ersan Saner presented the coalition government’s resignation to President Ersin Tatar on Wednesday.
Speaking after presenting his resignation to the President, Saner said that quorum problems in parliament, developments experienced within the coalition partners, the Democrat Party and Rebirth Party and problems in the government have led to this decision.
Reminding that they had formed a government during a very difficult time, Saner noted that they planned to form an executive government at first, but when they did not receive a positive response from the political parties, they did not want to leave the country without a government and therefore decided to take on the difficult task of forming a minority government.
Touching upon the policies they have put forward in the health field; Saner said that they are among the best countries in the world with the policies they have enforced.
Noting that the government partners could not achieve the numbers they needed within their own parties, Saner said “as of today, we do not have a majority in the Parliament, so I have returned the duty to the President.”
The National Unity Party, Democrat Party and Rebirth Party coalition government which had signed a coalition protocol on the 8th of December 2020 had received a vote of confidence on the 19th of December 2020.
