ANKARA - CHP Deputy Abdüllatif Şener said that Erdoğan, whom he worked as a close colleague for a period, would not go to a new election with the existing system and that he might prefer to go to the constitutional amendment by agreeing with the parties.
After the 31 March and 23 June elections, the new Constitution and the Presidential system began to be discussed. CHP Konya Deputy Abdullatif Sener evaluated the issue to Mesopotamian Agency (MA).
Şener who stated that the İstanbul elections draws an accurate picture of the state of politics in Turkey in general, said that the politics based on marginalizing and seperating the people and the parties have lost.
Şener who pointed out the political power's exclusive approach towards the HDP in the March 31 elections, said: "They had a new strategy in June 23 elections that aims to win HDP voters. Its an important turn.All parties should learn the necessary lesson from that. You can not ignore anyone in this country. If you do not consider the participation of a political party in the Assembly's legislative process as legitimate, and if you consider its votes as illegitimate, you will contradict yourself. Now that the CHP has the highest number of deputies apart from the government party, it is a party in which power and the ability to capture the next Presidency is possible. CHP is an alternative to taking office.This has to be well evaluated. I think that the CHP, like all parties in the Istanbul elections have learned their lesson.
Sener stated that AKP President and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's chances of winning the presidential elections at risk. Şener stated that Erdoğan is not sure that he will win a new election with the same system and added: “There is a problem that Erdoğan cannot avoid, he now sees that the system he built with his own hands is not sustainable and it does great harm to Turkey. Now he has to overcome this. He seems like he is intending to try to go to the constitutional amendment by compromising with parties instead of elections."
