ISLAMABAD: Turkey's new government and prime minister will be in place by September 1, said Deputy Prime Minister and Government spokesman Bulent Arinc in a press briefing Monday following the last cabinet meeting chaired by outgoing Prime Minister and President-elect Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will become prime minister after Erdogan is sworn in as the 12th president of the Republic of Turkey on August 28, Arinc said, Anadolu News Agency Reported.
Arinc suggested that at least a part of the cabinet would remain the same.
"A full resignation of the cabinet is out of the question," he said.
Davutoglu will be the sole contender for the chairmanship of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party at an extraordinary congress on August 27 and will be designated as the prime minister if elected party chairman on August 29 by the new president.
