Ince unveiled his election manifesto on May 19, the 99th anniversary of the launch of the War of Independence by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Republic of Turkey in Samsun.
“The first step to be taken for the rule of law will be the removal of state of emergency rule. Necessary reforms and regulations will be made for the relevant state institutions, particularly the Constitutional Court, to fulfill their duty of carrying out impartial and democratic inspection. Competent and impartial judges will be able to inspect elected officials,” reads Ince’s manifesto.
The Judges’ and Prosecutors’ Board (HSK) will be re-composed and the justice minister and undersecretary of the Justice Ministry will not take place in the new composition of the board, it adds.
The manifesto stresses the importance of a new constitution that will re-institute a strong parliamentary system on the basis of an effective system of separation of powers.
“Our indispensable objective is to apply democracy with all its norms and institutions and without interruption. Some administrative powers currently in the hands of the central government will be handed to local administrations,” it states.
