Politics in Yozgat is heating up! AKP and MHP votes have melted away

Following the detention of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on March 19, traffic fines were issued to farmers from Yozgat during the protests that began across the country. Subsequently, CHP leader Özel promised that he would pay the farmers' traffic fines.

After İmamoğlu's arrest, the CHP announced that it had decided to hold rallies in an Istanbul district on Wednesdays and in different provinces on Saturdays.

While the CHP's Yozgat rally made a big impact, the words of a farmer who had been fined, "You can't run a state with turnips and radishes," left their mark on politics.

CHP HAS CLOSED THE GAP

Following the rally, one of the first polls of May was shared with the public.

The survey conducted by HBS Research in April in Yozgat with 1 thousand people face-to-face included striking results.

While the AKP became the leading party with 30.4 percent, the CHP placed as the second party with 26.3 percent.
