Which path will Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu follow in the nomination process?

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, chairman of the Republican People’s Party, was recently announced as the presidential candidate of the Alliance of Nations, formed by six opposition parties. Before the announcement of Kılıçdaroğlu’s candidacy, it was said that he was one of the prominent names in the presidential nomination alliance. However, the candidate crisis in the Six Tables that arose at the last moment caused the most active days of the last period in Turkish politics.

IYI party chairman Meral Aksener vetoed Kılıçdaroğlu’s candidacy and left the table, calling for Ekrem Imamoğlu and Mansur Yavaş to be nominated. While millions were stunned by this unexpected division, the candidate crisis was overcome by a formula in which two mayors became vice presidents and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu was declared the opposition’s presidential candidate. In short, although Kılıçdaroğlu was at the beginning of his candidacy adventure, he faced difficult obstacles and was able to overcome them. So, what awaits Kılıçdaroglu in the coming period? What is in the roadmap of the opposition presidential candidate? Let’s look at the details together.

IYI party chairman Meral Aksener objected to the nomination of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for president, left the table and proposed Ekrem Imamoğlu or Mansur Yavaş as presidential candidates.

Shortly thereafter, negotiations between the Five Tables and the IYI party resumed and Akşener sat down at the table again. After the last meeting, which was also attended by Aksener, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu was announced as the presidential candidate of the Alliance of Nations. All these events took place in a very short time, with great speed. For this reason, the details of what has been happening in the opposition corridors in recent days are only beginning to emerge.

The “candidate crisis” in the “Six Tables” was overcome with the help of the “Plan B” of the Republican People’s Party.

According to backstage information, the formula for mayors to become vice presidents was the Republican People’s Party’s Plan B against the worst-case crisis scenario on the table. Presumably, after Aksener broke bridges with Six Tables, his staff explained the formula to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. This formula, which also allowed the two mayors to become more visible in the electoral process, was positively evaluated by Kılıçdaroğlu. Plan B, prepared by CHP staff about a month ago, was activated to bring Aksener back to the table. Thus, the candidate crisis was overcome, it was announced that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is a presidential candidate, and Ekrem Imamoğlu and Mansur Yavas are vice presidents.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu took his first major step after becoming a presidential candidate and said goodbye to his party’s parliamentary group.

Kılıçdaroğlu, who had previously decided to “remove his party badge after he became a candidate,” implemented this decision at the first parliamentary meeting of his party. This decision was met with surprise even among the inner circle of Kılıçdaroğlu. CHP Group Deputy Chairman Engin Ozkoç assessed Kılıçdaroğlu’s farewell decision before the parliamentary group with the following words:After the meeting of Parliament, we entered his room as a group of vice-presidents. He said, “Friends, today is the last time I will represent the group.” From now on, I will be with the nation, representing the nation. said.” So, what is in the road map of Kılıçdaroğlu?

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu removed his party badge with his candidacy, but will lead his party until the election.

As stated in the text of the “Roadmap for the Transition to a Stronger Parliamentary System”, Kılıçdaroğlu will leave his party after being elected president and transitioning to a parliamentary system.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, opposition presidential candidate, will visit the earthquake zone, Elbistan district of Kahramanmaras for the first time.

He will announce an “election manifesto” after the election decision is announced.

Kılıçdaroğlu will share his campaign manifesto with the public in an indoor sports hall in Ankara with other opposition leaders in attendance.

Kılıçdaroğlu’s election campaign will be carried out by a team that includes representatives of the alliance’s parties.

However, the details of the election campaign are not yet clear. However, CHP Group Vice Chairman Engin Ozkoç says the alliance’s parties will use a “common language” throughout the campaign. Ozkoch on the topic “The words that should be said in our campaign program, how our promises will be expressed, and in accordance with the advice given to us by communications experts, we present them to all our political parties. They also express their own views, and thus a common language emerges.” he uses.

Kemal Kılıçdaroglu will meet with many political parties in the near future.

Kılıçdaroğlu, who will visit many political parties as a presidential candidate for the Alliance of Nations, will ask for support. The schedule of Kılıçdaroglu’s visit will be specified after the announcement of the election decision. The most curious question in this regard is whether the AKP, MHP and HDP will visit Kılıçdaroğlu.

Although it has not yet been completed, the party is evaluating various options for the program for Kılıçdaroğlu’s visit. At this point, the idea comes to the fore that it is necessary to visit all the parties that have groups in parliament and ask for support. Asking the SEP and the MHP to set up a meeting at the “group chair” level is one option. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is said to be able to visit AKP group president Ismet Yılmaz and MHP chairman Devlet Bahçeli if the request for a meeting is answered positively.
