Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), may be a candidate in Turkey’s 2023 presidential election, an opposition politician said on Wednesday.

-Kemal Kilicdaroglu may consider becoming a presidential candidate. There is no harm there- Meral Aksener, leader of the opposition Good (IYI) Party, told reporters in the parliament.

To a question about her own possible candidacy, Aksener said she had never spoken about at any such move.

-We are listening to the troubles of the nation and bringing them to the agenda of public opinion- she said.

-Most importantly, I have been traveling [through Turkey] since January 20, 2020. While doing this work, I do not have any dream [about the presidency] related to my party or me. I do not have any dream besides Turkey, which I have said clearly.-

Aksener, however, added that there “is a lot of time to the elections” so “we can see what happens.”
