It is really important to put all the pieces in place and take an impartial and objective approach. Today, the main opposition party, the Republican People's Party, is in a dilemma between internal cliques within the party and blockages and pressures allegedly originating from the government.<\/p>\n
There is a conundrum where everyone is right in their own way and no one takes the blame. Mashallah, no one is to blame; everyone is innocent!
\nThe need for retrospective self-criticism is almost never felt. The possibility of admitting mistakes is a big ZERO.<\/p>\n
Without going into the congress trials or the corruption allegations against the municipalities, I would like to make a few points about the party's electoral strategy.<\/p>\n
Mr. \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel achieved a significant success as the first party leader in the 2024 local elections.
\n2023 T\u00fcrkiye cumhurba\u015fkanl\u0131\u011f\u0131 se\u00e7imi’nde al\u0131nan yakla\u015f\u0131k %48 oya k\u0131yasla daha d\u00fc\u015f\u00fck oy oran\u0131 s\u00f6z konusu olsa da, Cumhur \u0130ttifak\u0131\u2019n\u0131n ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131 ivme kayb\u0131 sebebiyle CHP psikolojik \u00fcst\u00fcnl\u00fc\u011f\u00fc ele ge\u00e7irdi.<\/p>\n
However, some critical moves made afterwards led to the loss of this psychological advantage in a short time.<\/p>\n
Let's take a brief look at these mistakes:<\/p>\n
There's one:
\nThere was no strong insistence on calling for early elections after the local election victory.
\nWhen he was the first party, when he had the psychological advantage, why wasn't this opportunity pushed at the earliest opportunity?<\/p>\n
There's two:
\nAt the end of the local elections, the leaders of the People's Alliance were not invited to resign.
\nThis political tactic, which was frequently used in the past for Mr. Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu, was for some reason not used against rival leaders. Of course, it would not have been right to ask for his resignation from the presidency because of the local elections, but political pressure could have been exerted through the party presidency.<\/p>\n
There's three:
\nWanting early elections is of course a matter of preference. However, why was Mr. Ekrem \u0130mamo\u011flu thrown into the center of the political debate so early, when the election atmosphere has not yet formed and the candidate of the People's Alliance is not even clear? There is still no logical explanation for this haste.<\/p>\n
There's four:
\n\u201cI'm the technical director, I have a double striker\u201d.
\nBut when one of the strikers has been pushed out of the game by political and legal processes, why is the other \u201cstriker\u201d not put on the field?<\/p>\n
Varan 5:
\nIs the aim of these strategies really to make Mr. Imamo\u011flu a presidential candidate, or is it to create a political ground to pave the way for the re-nomination of our President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, whose term of office has constitutionally expired?
\nIndeed, some statements have raised this suspicion even further.<\/p>\n
There's six:
\nWith the strikers out of the picture, it is inevitable that the technical director will take the field. In this case, will the party's presidential candidate be Mr. \u00d6zel?
\nIf so, is there a serious strategy on how to get votes from which social segments in the elections? It seems that there is no such strategy at the moment.<\/p>\n
Varan 7:
\nIt is difficult for the CHP to win the presidential election in a possible early or ordinary election in a process in which the rival is expanding its alliance grounds while the CHP is constantly creating resentment. The vote total of the parties that are part of the People's Alliance is currently 52 points and the polls are more or less the same. The deception tactics of the polling companies are still being flaunted by the CHP administration and the perception of the first party is still being created, however, winning the CB election is important, what good is it if you own more than half of the parliament! The job is to become the President, the rest is just talk!<\/p>\n
There's 8:
\nIt is hard to say that there is a strong belief within the party and across the country that the CHP will win the presidential election. Although this is not voiced out loud, everyone is aware that a new congress may be on the agenda at the end of the process.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:
\nIn the light of all these developments, unfortunately the following picture emerges: The CHP's desire to be in power does not seem strong enough. This situation is reminiscent of the \u201ckeep it small and keep it mine\u201d approach that was once criticized during the Deniz Baykal era.<\/p>\n
But politics does not accept stagnation.
\nThose who cannot fly better, higher, cannot stay in place.<\/p>\n
And as a matter of fact, it doesn't.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
