“The previous elections in the two local self-governments were held on 28 March 2021. I have set 8 June 2025 as the final deadline for the elections so that any interested parties would have the time for nominations and run a successful election campaign. I wish you all success in the coming elections, may the best candidates win,” said the National Assembly Speaker.

The Decision calling the elections comes into force at the moment of its publication in the Official Gazette.
