International media organizations also began to carry out extensive analyzes on the events in Turkey. In a story headlined “Erdogan is launching the toughest election campaign in his 20-year rule,” Bloomberg said, “Turkey’s President Erdogan will launch the toughest election campaign of his career against an opposition alliance that is more wider than it has been before.”
“IT’S NOT AS POPULAR AS IMAMOĞLU AND SLOW BUT…”
It is claimed that the election date was moved from June 18 to May 14, adding: “After the transition to the presidential system in 2018, 69-year-old Erdoğan moved to a leadership that increases his pressure. While his opponents rarely coordinate a strategy, this time the six-party bloc chose the main opposition leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, as their presidential candidate.
Kılıçdaroğlu announced that it was decided to appoint Mansur Yavaş and Ekrem İmamoğlu vice presidents.
Kılıçdaroğlu’s success in the 2019 local elections was also highlighted. “In the 2019 local elections, Kılıçdaroğlu won Turkey’s major cities, leading his CHP party to victory over Erdogan’s AKP. Kılıçdaroğlu is not as popular as İmamoğlu or Yavaş, but he increased his support by deciding to elect them as vice president.
“LOSES VOTES OF THE POOR”
Stating that Erdogan draws attention to the opposition’s problems in decision-making and that he will use the argument that this will cause instability, Bloomberg said: “Although Erdogan is the most popular politician in Turkey, his party is among the poor, with the biggest economic crisis in 20 years in the country, which in general is the group that most supports him, lost votes,” he commented.
It was noted that the date of May 14 will ensure that schools go on vacation and do not coincide with the Hajj visit and thus the voter turnout rate is expected to increase. It was also said in the news that university students in general voted for the opposition.
