What happened that Imamoglu won?

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the decisive victory of Akram Imamoglu as the mayor of Istanbul and Also, the victory of Mansur Yovash as the mayor of Ankara has turned these two politicians into potential rivals of Erdogan. Now, many Turkish analysts have gone to this issue: what happened that Imamoglu overtook Erdogan? Ms. Samra Alkan, a Turkish journalist with a doctorate in management, pointed out this point in her analysis. The defeat of Erdoğan’s party in the municipal elections in Turkey is not a sudden event and it should be seen as a continuation of a line in which Akparty’s defeat in all political and executive fields has gradually deepened.

We review Elkan’s analytical note together:

Erdogan, Imamoglu, Akparti

In the last few years, the political policy of the Justice and Development Party has caused a lot of blind spots and considerable anxiety to be imposed on the people. had formed, brought the negative feelings in the political atmosphere of Turkey to its peak. Therefore, I would like to announce that I generally welcome the results of the municipal elections and I believe that in this authoritarian atmosphere, without a doubt, due to the heavy defeat of the ruling party, the opposition will take a deep breath and continue their activities in better conditions. will give

After the announcement of the final results of the election, many opinions were raised about who lost and which side is the winner. Many analysts focused on this point, which political leader and which Turkish party made a mistake in their calculations and what factors caused these different results.

To be honest, I did not expect so many differences of opinion in Istanbul. . I knew that the competition in Istanbul would be very serious and Imamoglu had some chance to win. But I didn’t expect a big difference and I thought that if he won, the distance would be small and Napoleonic.

But we saw that Imamoglu won with a high vote. Until the last days, I thought that if Salahuddin Demirtash published a letter of support in favor of Dem Party candidate Meral Danish Beshtash, Kurdish voters would vote for Danish more. But this did not happen and the evidence shows that a large part of the Kurds also voted in favor of Imamoglu.

It should even be acknowledged that the value and amount of Akram Imamoglu’s personal vote depends on his party background. It is also more important and appeared more powerful than the Republican People’s Party. It is obvious that some of these votes are actually reactionary votes. This means that some citizens voted for Imamoglu out of anger because of their anger towards their previous party.

It is necessary to point out that fortunately, I did not make a wrong prediction about the Justice and Development Party, and basically it was not difficult to guess the defeat of the ruling party. Why? Because of the same grievances and issues that we all talk about from morning to night.

In my last article about the Justice and Development Party, I stated the following: Justice and Development Party, in the political atmosphere Turkey is a leading party. For years, with the steps he took, he shaped the country’s politics and the masses followed him. But is it the same now? No, I don’t think so. Complaints and protests of the Turkish people in many issues, especially the economy, are increasing exponentially. The most basic needs of citizens’ daily life are difficult to access. With the passage of time, the hope for Akparty has disappeared and on the other hand, people talk about the importance of law, the rule of law and justice. Because there is a lot of disappointment in these areas as well. The plight of the media adds to all this. Therefore, problems accumulate in many areas. The main problem I see is that the organs and muscles of the Justice and Development Party have been significantly weakened in producing solutions and policies. Of course, there are many reasons behind this. Many factors can be mentioned, from arbitrariness and isolation to the formation of a closed structure, not listening to the voice of the population and financial corruption.
