ANKARA-- Holding an early election is the "most remote" option for Turkey, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said, a week before President Tayyip Erdogan is expected to give a mandate to the ruling AK Party to form a government.

In elections earlier this month the AKP failed to gain enough seats in parliament to form a single-party government, raising speculation the country may have to go to the polls again.
