Striking results in the absolute nullity survey!

While the political repercussions of the absolute nullity ruling regarding the 38th Ordinary Convention of the CHP continue, the results of a public opinion poll conducted by GÜNDEMAR Research have been announced.

A total of 2 thousand 275 people participated in the research, which was carried out between May 24-27. The survey measured the public's response to the court decision, expectations regarding the future of the CHP, and evaluations of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's statements.

MAJORITY SEES THE DECISION AS "JUDICIAL INTERVENTION"

In the research, participants were asked, "How do you evaluate the reinstatement of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the former administration to office in the CHP by court order?"

59 percent of those who responded to this question evaluated the decision as "a judicial intervention in the internal affairs of the CHP."

33 percent of the participants expressed the view that the decision in question was "a legally correct decision that should be implemented."

The proportion of those who stated they had no opinion in the research was recorded as 8 percent.

Evaluating the research results, GÜNDEMAR Research Chairman Prof. Dr. Tamer Bolat stated that the decision is not seen merely as a legal matter by the public.

Bolat said, "This picture shows that the absolute nullity decision is not viewed solely as a legal ruling by the public. The majority of voters read the decision as a judicial intervention into the internal affairs of the CHP. In contrast, the view that the decision is legally correct stands out among AK Party and MHP voters. Therefore, the issue has turned into a legitimacy debate that is assigned different meanings according to political affiliations, beyond a legal discussion."

"LIMITED SUPPORT FOR KILIÇDAROĞLU"

Prof. Dr. Tamer Bolat also made evaluations regarding the tendencies of CHP voters.

Bolat stated, "When viewed from the perspective of CHP voters, the rate supporting Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's return to office is quite limited. The CHP base is taking a position more in favor of a new convention or the protection of Özgür Özel's political legitimacy."

WHAT IS THE PREFERENCE REGARDING THE CHP'S ROADMAP?

In the poll, participants were also asked which view they were closer to regarding the de facto leadership of the CHP following the court decision.

45 percent of the participants stated that the CHP should go to a new convention as soon as possible.

A 28 percent segment argued that Özgür Özel should continue his duty as the chairman who possesses political legitimacy.

The proportion of those who think that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu should legally return to his post as chairman was measured at 21 percent.

The rate of those who said they had no opinion on this question was 6 percent.

"KILIÇDAROĞLU'S PURIFICATION STATEMENT" WAS ALSO ASKED

In the research, participants were also asked how they interpreted the "purification" statement made by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu following the court decision.

37 percent of the participants evaluated this statement as "a statement that drags the CHP into crisis and strengthens the hand of the ruling power."

A 30 percent segment interpreted the statement in question as "a call for confrontation necessary for the CHP to renew itself."

While the proportion of those who think it is a move to legitimize Kılıçdaroğlu's return to office was 12 percent, the proportion of those who see the statement as an internal party reckoning against the Özgür Özel administration was recorded as 13 percent.

The proportion of those who stated they had no opinion on this question was 8 percent.

In the results shared regarding the research, it was stated that support for the absolute nullity decision shows significant differences among the voters of political parties.

Accordingly, while the lowest support for the decision came from DEM Party voters with 1 percent, the highest support rate was seen among MHP voters with 83 percent.
