CHP Chairman Özgür Özel provided significant statements concerning the ongoing debates about early elections. Speaking at the CHP’s Izmir organization meeting, Özel remarked that discussing early elections is not a risky area. He emphasized, “Especially the leading party never thinks this way,” indicating that CHP is not entirely opposed to the idea of early elections.
Özel also highlighted that the decision about early elections will ultimately be made by the people. He stated, “We do not have the power to take that decision; if we did, we would make it tomorrow and come into power the next Sunday.” This comment underlined the uncertainty and lack of decision-making power in the matter of early elections.
The statements also brought attention to CHP’s belief in their objective to come to power and their respect for the voters’ will.
The source of these remarks was the CHP’s organizational meeting in Izmir.
