Turkey will head to the polls for local elections on March 31, 2024. While political parties continue to announce their mayoral candidates, Zafer Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ has made a notable decision.
Özdağ announced that they will support the candidates of the People's Alliance, formed by the AKP and MHP, in Kars and Iğdır in order to prevent the DEM Party from winning.
"WE WILL ACT IN A WAY THAT PREVENTS THE HDP FROM WINNING"
Özdağ stated, "For example, we will support the MHP in Kars. Why? The AK Party is not fielding a candidate and is supporting the MHP. We believe that the HDP should not win there. We also have a base of supporters in Kars. If we wanted to, we could field a candidate tomorrow, but we will not. We will act in a way that prevents the HDP from winning. We had previously announced that we would take a similar stance in Iğdır. We will announce some surprising steps again in the coming days."
