Ankara Metropolitan Mayor and CHP's re-nominated candidate Mansur Yavaş has received a 'withdraw from candidacy' call from his İYİ Party rival Cengiz Topel Yıldırım.
Cengiz Topel Yıldırım claimed that Yavaş is splitting the votes.
Sharing on X, Yıldırım stated, "This is my call to Yavaş!!! Yavaş, who is not a CHP member and wears a CHP mask: Withdraw from candidacy! Let two unmasked candidates who wear their party's badge and are not ashamed of the party they are running for compete. Do not split the votes with your mask!"
This is my call to Yavaş!!!
