Ankara, (IINA) - Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan officially asked Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Tuesday to form a new government following the November general election, Anadolu Agency reported.
“Mr. President accepted Konya deputy and Chairman of the Justice and Development Party Ahmet Davutoglu at the presidential complex and has tasked him to form the 64th government”, the presidential office said in a statement.
The Justice and Development Party won the election with 49.5 percent of votes, taking a majority in the Grand National Assembly.
A caretaker government under Davutoglu had run the country since June when an earlier general election failed to produce a single-party government. Coalition talks failed, leading to an election rerun.
