He can’t. The elections can not be held later than June 2023.

Even during a state of emergency?

I'm not Turkish but some Turkish guy said in a previous discussion that it's illegal to postpone national elections unless the country is at war.

Well, there’s still time for that.

This is true, also important to note that it has to be an official declaration of war. So any limited scale military operations would not really count. Considering even Putin didn't/couldn't officially declare war on Ukraine, I find that possibility highly unlikely.

If Turkey is still in a state of emergency 4 months from now than they definitely shouldn't reelect Erdogan.
