ANKARA, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regained on Sunday the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) leadership and announced the party's action plan for the 2019 elections, making him the first sole powerful leader in modern Turkish history.


The extraordinary congress made Erdogan the party leader again after three years Nike Air Max 2017 Sale , as last month's approval of constitutional amendments, which lifted a provision banning presidents from retaining affiliations with political parties, paved the way for him to regain his party membership.


The presidential system stipulated by the amendment will go into full effect after the presidential and parliamentary elections to be held in 2019. However, in the run-up to the elections, Erdogan will serve as a "partisan president" starting with the congress.


Erdogan pledged to fight Turkey's enemies at home and abroad during a speech he delivered during the Sunday congress attended by delegates and thousands of supporters from across the country in a festive mood and broadcasted live by all TV channels.


"We will continue our battle against all terrorist organizations Nike Air Max 95 Sale ," he said in the Ankara Sports Arena, vowing to maintain a state of emergency in Turkey until peace is achieved in the NATO country's fight against Kurdish militants and Islamist State (IS).


Erdogan is the first president to lead a party since Ismet Inonu who succeeded modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and was head of state until 1950.


With the close results of the April 16 referendum indicative of the party's possible strategy in the near future, the congress is an important event determining the future steps of the ruling party.


The AKP has already formed an intra-party board to examine the referendum results and submitted a report to Erdogan. As such, his messages could carry further meaning for the party organizations in order to evaluate the campaign process.
