Erdoğan sent a message to Zühtü Arslan, who was re-elected as the President of the Constitutional Court, and conveyed his congratulations and wishes for success, according to a statement by Turkish presidency.

Turkish Constitutional Court (AYM) members earlier on Thursday reelected Zühtü Arslan as the court's president for the third time in a row.

Arslan was reelected by receiving the votes of eight out of 15 members. His opponents İrfan Fidan received five votes and Kadir Özkaya received two votes.

Arslan was elected as a member of the Constitutional Court in 2012 and became the president in 2015 for the first time. (ILKHA)
