Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has been chosen by a coalition of Turkish opposition parties to stand as their unified candidate. Will Erdogan do anything to prevent him from standing, such as arresting, poisoning, or assassinating him?
The popular front runner before the candidate was announced was Ekram Imamoglu, but in December 2022 he was jailed for calling the Supreme Election Council "fools".
Mar 12, 3:55pm: Will Erdogan’s main election opponent be prevented from running? → Will Erdogan try to stop his main election opponent from running?
I was very confused why Erdogan’s challenger was being announced so close to the election. Then my Turkish pals informed me that if the challenger is announced too early, it allows too much time for chicanery, and the challenger won’t make it to Election Day. 🤡
@Charlie That is not the reason, the reason is because the man opposition alliance couldnt agree for a candidate for over a year and then even with backlash had to pick the only option available. Erdogan has not ever stopped a main opposition party from running.
