Evaluating who the presidential candidate will be in 2028 within the CHP, TGRT Haber Ankara Representative Fatih Atik announced that Mansur Yavaş will be a presidential candidate in 2028 and that his efforts are in this direction.
4 NAMES STAND OUT FOR CANDIDACY IN THE OPPOSITION
It is being discussed that Özgür Özel, Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mansur Yavaş, and the party's former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu are engaged in fierce competition for the candidacy within the CHP. Speaking on the Medya Kritik program broadcast on TGRT Haber, TGRT Haber Ankara Representative Fatih Atik made noteworthy assessments regarding the issue.
STRATEGIC MOVES FROM ÖZEL AND İMAMOĞLU
Stating that strategic moves are being made within the party for the presidency, Atik noted that Ekrem İmamoğlu has been holding meetings with AKP mayors in Istanbul, while Özgür Özel has been visiting party leaders.
YAVAŞ'S GOAL IS THE PRESIDENCY
Continuing his statement, Atik emphasized that Yavaş is working toward the candidacy, saying, "Mansur Yavaş will be a presidential candidate in 2028, and his efforts toward this are ongoing. This is the point that Mr. Mansur wants and targets. It would take Mansur Yavaş only 1 day to collect 100 thousand signatures."
