As Tuncay Mollaveisoğlu had written: The notable detail in Özgür Özel's 'glass ceiling' analogy in his victory speech

The winner of the March 31 Local Elections was the Republican People's Party (CHP). Reaching a vote share of 37.77 percent, the CHP became the leading party in Turkey for the first time in 47 years.

ÖZEL: WE BROKE THE GLASS CEILING

Delivering his victory speech while the vote count was still ongoing on the night of March 31, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stated, "The voters said the Republic of Turkey with all our colors. The CHP has now broken the 25 percent ceiling; it has shattered it to pieces. The CHP is no longer just the party of the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts, but the party of all of Turkey."

TUNCAY MOLLAVEİSOĞLU HAD WRITTEN ABOUT THE 'GLASS CEILING'

Özel's 'glass ceiling' analogy, which has been making headlines, was used by 12punto columnist Tuncay Mollaveisoğlu in his article titled 'Those who demolished the CHP's glass ceiling' on December 12, 2023.

In his article, Mollaveisoğlu, who highlighted 'politicians who have demolished the CHP's glass ceiling syndrome,' touched upon the vote shares the CHP achieved in Aydın, İzmit, Manisa, Istanbul, and Ankara in the 2019 local elections.

At the end of his article, Mollaveisoğlu had used the following expressions:

"It appears there will be no alliance in the local elections. So why is Özgür Özel hopeful?

Because the CHP is also full of success stories…

Özel trusts women, young people, and innovation.

Candidates in the local elections must work to break the CHP's glass ceilings…"
