CHP concerned over presidential candidate debates: First comments on mayors saying 'Our candidate is İmamoğlu'!
The first comments from CHP officials have arrived regarding some CHP district mayors in Istanbul sharing photos of IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu with the Presidential seal. Meanwhile, it has been learned that the CHP leadership is concerned that the presidential candidate debates are overshadowing the country's real problems.
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who emerged victorious from the March 31 Local Elections, has been calling for early elections by saying 'if there is no livelihood, there is an election,' while debates over the 'presidential candidacy' have begun within his party.
It has been learned that the CHP leadership is concerned that the presidential candidate debates are overshadowing Turkey's actual problems. According to a report by Mustafa Bildircin from Birgün, CHP sources, who argue that the deliberately fueled debates prevent the real agenda from being discussed, say, “The candidate will be determined by collective wisdom when the time comes. Although an early election is possible, we are not yet on an election calendar. The candidacy debate is preventing the discussion of citizens' problems.”
"WE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN FRUITLESS DEBATES"
According to information obtained from CHP sources, the public's response to party policies is constantly measured through surveys called “Focus polls.” Emphasizing that the question “Who should be the CHP's presidential candidate?” is not included in the surveys, CHP officials comment, “We will not miss the street's agenda with candidate debates, and we will not engage in fruitless debates.”
"WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF LOSING ANOTHER 5 YEARS"
Approaching the presidential candidacy debates with the comment, “We have long left behind the stages where we would sacrifice Turkey's future to our own emotions,” party officials said, "We do not have the luxury of losing another five years due to our preferences.”
MAYORS WHO SHARED IMAMOĞLU'S PHOTO WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL
Regarding the posts by some mayors sharing a photo of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu with the Presidential seal and saying, “Our candidate is İmamoğlu,” CHP officials make the following assessment:
“Everyone may have a presidential candidate in their heart; this is natural. However, it is also clear that the party does not have such an agenda. How the CHP's presidential candidate will be determined will be decided by the relevant boards using a sound method.”
