AKP tests the waters with these names in İzmir! Includes a former minister

Hürriyet columnist Deniz Sipahi stated that the AKP has conducted survey work in 3 major cities, saying, "The three major cities might be left until January". 

3 NAMES ASKED ABOUT IN İZMİR

Sipahi noted the following in his column:

"Parties will close out the end of the year by convening their highest bodies. Some mayoral candidates are also expected to be announced at these final meetings. Istanbul, Ankara, and İzmir are expected to be left until mid-January.

The AK Party held its preference poll in Istanbul last weekend. The first survey work for İzmir has also been completed. Hamza Dağ, Bekir Pakdemirli, and Selim Gökdemir were asked about to the people of İzmir. However, the AK Party will conduct a few more survey studies for İzmir. The People's Alliance is not expected to announce its candidate before the CHP announces its candidate for İzmir."
