18.11.2021 | 21:05If the opposition wins the next election, Turkey will be dragged into chaos, President and Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chair Erdogan has asserted.
Speaking at his party’s parliamentary group meeting today (November 17), Erdogan said the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) is “playing a game that will be harmful to our country.”
The country’s next presidential and parliamentary elections are due to be held in June 2023. The ruling party has dismissed the opposition’s calls for a snap election as polls show that the AKP has been consistently losing votes.
“Don’t worry, they won’t succeed because Turkey is not the old Turkey. Our nation is aware of what is happening. When our nation goes to the polling stations in June 2023, they will look at our works and these dark powers. In the face of such a picture, everyone will turn to the AK Party and the People’s Alliance,” he said.
