The parties ignored Europe

The candidates presented their lists to the Supreme Electoral Board for the presidential and parliamentary elections of the twenty-eighth term. The last party to announce its lists was the Popular Republican Party.

In addition to the applicants from Turkey, more than 100 people from abroad applied for the candidacy. Nearly 30 of them were CHP candidates.

While there are believed to be more than 40 foreign AKP applications, the number surpassed 100 with applications from the IYI Party, the Green Left Party and the MHP.

Two people living in Turkey, who “looked like foreigners” from the AKP and HDP, were again candidates. However, expectations at CHP did not materialize.

Having said before, “There should be a separate constituency abroad, so they can have 15 MPs,” the CHP disappointed the rest of the country. Expatriate candidates could not even find a place at the bottom of the lists.

THERE ARE 1.5 MILLION VOTES, THERE ARE NO CANDIDATES

Presidents of the CHP Union abroad and former presidents of Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, England, Switzerland, the USA and even many other countries went to Ankara and applied by paying their “due fees”. of candidacy”.

None of these candidates made the list. While more than 6 million Turks or 1.5 million Turks from abroad, living with dual citizenship, are expected to vote, it was surprising that no one known to or able to tell about the problems of Turks abroad was accepted.

NATIONAL OPINION ON CHP LIST

Mustafa Yeneroğlu, Vice President of National Opinion and DEVA Party, was the sixth-ranking candidate of the third region of CHP Istanbul. Zafer Sırakaya, former head of the AKP party’s foreign organization UID, was nominated from seventh place in the second district.

Sirakaya, on the other hand, is not very knowledgeable about expat issues, having done most of her education and living in Turkey.

ÖKER WHO FAILS TO WIN, AGAIN CANDIDATORY

Turgut Öker, former president of AABF, who was in Germany for a while and was one of the creators of “Non-Islamic Alevism and Alevism without Ali”, was nominated as the HDP candidate for the 4th place of the 3rd region of Istanbul.

Öker, who lives in Istanbul, became Istanbul’s candidate and claimed that “the Alevis will vote for him” in the previous elections, but he did not get even 2,000 votes.
