Nation Alliance

Today's priority of all right and left-wing political parties should be bringing democracy to Turkey, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has said, stressing his cooperation with pro-democracy parties will continue to this end.

Mansur Yavaş, the joint candidate of the opposition Nation Alliance running for mayor of Turkey's capital Ankara, has said he is eight points ahead of his main rival Mehmet Özhaseki of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), while expressing concerns that he might be subjected to a smear campaign as election day nears.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) mayors will behave fair to all segments of the society, leader of the party Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said on March 1. He criticized negative rhetoric of the People's Alliance against the opposition parties and their voters.

Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu pledged to write a “civilian constitution,” in an event that the Nation Alliance would have the majority in the parliament, stating that the constitution will be prepared with all civilian segments in society.
