The mid-term Turkish Parliament Speaker elections of 2017 were held on 20 November 2017 in order to elect the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly. The election took place in three rounds, with a fourth becoming unnecessary after incumbent Speaker İsmail Kahraman was re-elected with 289 votes.[1]
A total of six candidates stood for election, with the Justice and Development Party (AKP) both re-nominating incumbent speaker İsmail Kahraman and also nominating Tamer Dağlı as a 'back-up candidate' in case there was a deterioration in Kahraman's health. The Republican People's Party (CHP) nominated Zekeriya Temizel, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) nominated Celal Adan while the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) nominated imprisoned MP Selma Irmak. The İYİ Party, established less than a month before the election by Meral Akşener, nominated Yusuf Halaçoğlu.
To protest the inability of their imprisoned MPs to vote and participate in parliamentary proceedings, the HDP nominated one of their imprisoned MPs.[2] The AKP's back-up candidate Tamer Dağlı withdrew before the third round to allow Kahraman to have a clear path to victory.[3]
