On 18 April 2018, following President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's call for a snap general election, Kerestecioğlu was rumoured to be a potential HDP candidate for the presidential election. She denied a potential presidential run on the same day.[7] But she was re-elected as an MP in the snap elections in June 2018.[8] On the 17 March 2021, the State Prosecutor for the Court of Cassation in Turkey Bekir Şahin filed a lawsuit before the Constitutional Court, demanding for Kerestecioğlu and 686 other politicians of the HDP a five-year ban for a political participation.[9] The lawsuit was filed jointly with a request for the HDP to be shut down due to the parties alleged organizational ties with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).[10][9]
