Governor of Ordu
Wikimedia list article
The Governor of Ordu (Turkish: Ordu Valiliği) is the bureaucratic state official responsible for both national government and state affairs in the Province of Ordu. Similar to the Governors of the 80 other Provinces of Turkey, the Governor of Ordu is appointed by the Government of Turkey and is responsible for the implementation of government legislation within Ordu. The Governor is also the most senior commander of both the Ordu provincial police force and the Ordu Gendarmerie.
Appointment
The Governor of Ordu is appointed by the President of Turkey, who confirms the appointment after recommendation from the Turkish Government. The Ministry of the Interior first considers and puts forward possible candidates for approval by the cabinet. The Governor of Ordu is therefore not a directly elected position and instead functions as the most senior civil servant in the Province of Ordu.
Term limits
The Governor is not limited by any term limits and does not serve for a set length of time. Instead, the Governor serves at the pleasure of the Government, which can appoint or reposition the Governor whenever it sees fit. Such decisions are again made by the cabinet of Turkey. The Governor of Ordu, as a civil servant, may not have any close connections or prior experience in Ordu Province.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Governor of Ordu” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20949515. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
