It all happened in a single day only. An extraordinary congress was the result reached in President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's ordinary meeting the previous evening. The next morning (yesterday), the Congress date was scheduled for May 22 during the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) Central Executive Board. This was followed by Davutoğlu's farewell speech on live national television. And that was the end of it. Davutoğlu stepped down from his role as prime minister.
