Ahmet Hakan's 'inaccurate' election prediction column becomes a trending topic on social media

Following the March 31 elections, the CHP became the leading party based on the votes received. While Ekrem İmamoğlu won in Istanbul and Mansur Yavaş in Ankara, many provinces and districts previously held by the AKP and MHP also shifted to the CHP.

Journalist Ahmet Hakan, who was reporting on the election on CNN Türk, became a trending topic after leaving the broadcast as the results began to become clear.

During the live broadcast, Hakan said, "If you will allow me, I would like to leave; we have a newspaper to publish tomorrow. We need to convey these results to our citizens through the newspaper. Therefore, I will ask for your permission," and departed from the broadcast.
