  1. Bruh I don’t understand. Why did Meral mommy left the alliance in the first place and now rejoined with the same candidate? What changed her mind?

  2. For anyone wondering, he is not not well liked by anyone, even his own party.

    Erdoğan will easily win this election.

    The only person who stood a chance at winning was mayor of Ankara, Mansur Yavaş, he’s seen as a gentleman by everyone and even liked by some in AKP.

  3. Six opposition parties formed a coalition in Turkey. Their biggest promise is to change the order and bring back the old parliamentary system.

    But, the candidate does not receive the highest number of votes in the polls, but the decision taken is in this direction. He is now a candidate against Erdogan.

  4. Why would they choose this loser? Isn’t he the poster child for failing to win in Turkish elections?

    Unfortunately for all of us, it looks like we’ve got the Erdogan/Putin/Orban axis to look forward to. But hey, who knows, maybe people are so pissed about the earthquake and inflation Erdogan will miraculously lose.

  5. We have a folk idom in Turkey ‘Ölümü gösterip sıtmaya razı etmek’, its mean Showing death and convincing malaria if im not translate wrong. K.Kılıçdaroğlu is malaria, Erdoğan is death for me. So ill vote KK unhapply.

  6. People shit talk him in the comments, and it’s about what I’ve read. He’s the one of the more convenient candidates for Erdogan, unlike some of the city mayors.

  7. Even though he is not the most popular candidate, he still polls ahead of Erdoğan according to most polling institutes. So yes he definitely has a chance of winning the election. He also is the most left-leaning candidate out of the bunch so he’s the most likely candidate to get kurdish votes as well. To be honest this is the most promising election against Erdoğan to date. It still would have been better to have candidates that were more likely to win, however it seems like Turkish people who are in oppositon to Erdoğan will elect whoever is against Erdoğan regardless of their political alignment.

  8. As I’ve read right now Aksener as returned to the National Alliance and Imamoglu and Yavas will be Vice-Presidents if the opposition wins so it seems like a good scenario for them being able to defeat Erdogan

  9. In other news, he is probably about to get investigated and sentenced for *insert nebulous crime here*.

  10. what’s his view on presidential vs parliamentary system? would he go back to the old system with one of the two mayors apponted the future PM and actual leader of the country?

  11. What’s this guy’s position on Greek/Turkish relations? As someone with family in the eastern Aegean, current Turkish leadership has been… stressful.

  12. He’s going to win the elections. Apart from the opposition alliance (Nation Alliance) that pledged to support him, pro-Kurdish HDP also previously said they will support Kilicdaroglu if he becomes a candidate.

    Nation Alliance gets around 42-43% of the votes while HDP’s vote is around %10. Erdogan will probably get 43-44% at most.
