AKP's Ankara candidate Altınok makes 'poll' statement: He gave a percentage

The People's Alliance (Cumhur İttifakı) Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayoral Candidate Turgut Altınok attended the Yenimahalle Organization Meeting held yesterday by the AKP Ankara Provincial Presidency at the İller Bank Social Facilities.

Speaking there, Altınok claimed that there are many citizens who are Republican People's Party (CHP) supporters but say "I will vote for you," and alleged that "no work done by Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş has been seen in the last 5 years."

Stating that Ankara has been managed with a budget of 300 billion liras over 5 years, Altınok said, "Show me a project worth 30 billion in Ankara. The vote we will cast in this election is not for 5 years. Mayors do not just manage the city's 5 years; they also manage the city's future. Show me a project worth 3 billion."

'POLL' CLAIM

Claiming that the rate of those saying "I could vote for Altınok" in polls conducted by the AKP Headquarters is 73 percent, Altınok stated the following:

"If we reach out, we can get 73 percent of the vote in Ankara, regardless of which party they vote for; we have such potential. The candidate is not Altınok, the candidate is all of us. We will be servants. We will not embarrass you. Those who do not vote will say 'I wish we had'," he said.

Stating that they believe they will win the election in Yenimahalle as well, Altınok claimed they have a vote potential of over 60 percent.

YAVAŞ'S SATISFACTION RATE

Journalist Deniz Zeyrek had emphasized that "according to a poll conducted within the AKP, it is noteworthy that the satisfaction rate with Mansur Yavaş in Ankara is 64 percent, and the 'yes' rate to the question 'Would you vote for him?' is around 55 percent."
