The upcoming election is expected to be the toughest for the incumbent in his 20-year tenure.
Turkey’s six opposition parties have agreed to nominate a candidate for the presidency. They will be 74-year-old economist, Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. About this on Monday, March 6, Reuters wrote.
“Our only goal is to lead the country to days of prosperity, peace and joy,” he said at a campaign rally in Ankara.
Kılıçdaroğlu’s nomination was expected, but was almost ruined when one of the members of the opposition alliance, the Good Party (İYİ), unexpectedly opposed his candidacy on Friday. After three days of consultation, İYİ returned to the six-party alliance in exchange for vice-presidential positions for the mayors of Istanbul and Ankara in the event of Kılıçdaroğlu’s victory.
The upcoming elections, to be held in Turkey in May, are expected to be the toughest for the incumbent during his 20-year rule. They come amid economic turmoil and criticism of the government’s response to the devastating earthquakes.
In Estonia, the Reform Party, led by Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, won the parliamentary elections.
It will be remembered that the next presidential election in the United States is scheduled for November 5, 2024. Incumbent President Joe Biden has said he will run but has not yet made an official nomination.
