Neki eksperti, uključujući šefa turske Izborne skupštine Muammera Aydina, kažu da bi rezultati referenduma mogli Gula obavezati da izađe na reizbor, te da će se u skladu s njima možda morati za godinu dana smanjiti mandat aktuelnog parlamenta.
Some experts, including the head of Turkey's Electoral Council, Muammer Aydin, have suggested that the referendum results could oblige Gul to stand for re-election, and could make it necessary to reduce the tenure of the current parliament by a year.
