The aim of this study is to examine the impact of appointment procedures and principles in the presidential system on the participation of senior administrators in political decision-making in Türkiye. Interviews with individuals who have served as senior administrators under both the parliamentary and presidential systems are employed to compare theoretical analysis with practical experience. The empirical and theoretical findings suggest that the new appointment procedures and principles in Türkiye have reduced the involvement of senior administrators in decision-making, while simultaneously increasing their affiliation with the president and her political party. This shift has raised concerns about increasing partisanship and a decline in professionalism within the bureaucracy.
