AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu yesterday. The meeting, which took place at Soylu's request, lasted approximately two hours.
Sözcü columnist Aytunç Erkin reported that the topic of the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality mayoral candidacy was discussed during the meeting between Erdoğan and Soylu.
While seeking an answer to the question of "what was discussed in the meeting," Erkin shared what he learned as follows:
"The two figures also spoke about the local elections. Among the claims is that the idea of running for Ankara Metropolitan Municipality mayor is on Süleyman Soylu's mind as well.
NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ISTANBUL
Again, beyond the names already being discussed for Istanbul (Murat Kurum, Adil Karaismailoğlu, Fahrettin Koca, Tevfik Göksu), information has reached me that Ahmet Misbah Demircan is also 'lobbying' for the candidacy. I learned that Demircan is asserting, 'I managed Beyoğlu, I can also manage Istanbul.' Ultimately, it seems the political pot will really start boiling after November."
