The opposition continues to call for an 'early election.' The CHP's candidate is a subject of curiosity. Journalist İsmail Küçükkaya, who stated that he spoke with CHP leader Özgür Özel, shared the information on a live broadcast that the CHP's candidate will be determined by a 'primary election.'
The exclusive insider information Küçükkaya received from CHP sources is as follows:
'THERE IS A STORM TARGETING İMAMOĞLU'
"They say, 'There is a storm targeting İmamoğlu. We need to prevent this.'"
"We want the election to be held in 2025." I asked three separate sources, "'Have you made this decision? Will you hold a primary election?'" They said, "Yes"...
I also exchanged messages with another person from the CHP. They say, "Mr. Mansur will not enter the primary election." That is also the impression I have gathered.
"A person I spoke with from Özel's A-team also says, 'Mr. Mansur will not enter the primary election.' That is, if it is held now. If it is held early. But what was he saying yesterday? He does not find it appropriate now. But he had said, 'Time will tell.'"
"'When will the election be held? The election will be held around 2027. He says he is in for that time.' He is not closing the door."
'WE WANT TO ANNOUNCE THE CANDIDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE'
"As a way out and a solution, we think that a method can be reached that İmamoğlu, Mansur Yavaş, and Mr. Özgür will all wholeheartedly support. If you do not have a candidate, your demand for an early election is not convincing. That is why they say, 'We want to announce the candidate as soon as possible.'"
