Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was declared as the CHP's sole presidential candidate, gave important messages at the meeting where he announced his candidacy.
İmamoğlu said, "We have been Turkey's leading party since March 31. Now it is time to change Turkey."
However, the fact that Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş did not attend this critical meeting drew attention.
YAVAŞ ATTENDED ANOTHER EVENT
Yavaş was at another event at that time and responded to journalists' questions about the primary election by saying, "Best of luck, there is nothing else to say beyond that. Other options on the table are always on the agenda."
WILL NOT LEAD TO DIVISION
Sources close to Yavaş stated that the experienced politician would not take sides in the tension within the CHP, assessing that, "Mayor Mansur will maintain his conciliatory and unifying stance and will not be a figure that leads to division within the party."
According to behind-the-scenes information from journalist Aytunç Erkin, Yavaş will both continue his contacts with İmamoğlu and closely follow political developments.
It is stated that Yavaş, who will continue to evaluate poll results, will not make a move that would call into question the leadership of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel.
On the other hand, it is predicted that if İmamoğlu emerges strongly in the polls, Mansur Yavaş will remain out of the race.
