Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel made statements regarding the current agenda.
Responding to questions from Sözcü's Güney Öztürk, Özel spoke about the 2023 presidential elections.
When asked, "You also believed that Kılıçdaroğlu would win when he became the presidential candidate of the Table of Six. What misled you?" Özel replied as follows:
I am a firm believer in measurement and evaluation. At that time, I always advocated, 'At the very least, let's conduct polls. Let's nominate whoever receives the highest votes.' I was even criticized within the party for this, with people asking, 'Why do you emphasize polls?'
I thought, 'We need to determine the most guaranteed candidate.' In short, we did not give enough importance to measurement and evaluation during that process. That is likely the biggest shortcoming. However, I do not want to return to those days and stir up a new debate.
Özel had been unable to hold back his tears during Kılıçdaroğlu's final speech in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM)...
