Muharrem İnce

Muharrem İnce, the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) presidential candidate, has vowed to purse the presidency, despite losing to President Receyp Tayyip Erdoğan in the June 24 elections. 

One placard during ODTÜ's graduation ceremony this year was supportive of the main opposition presidential candidate Muharrem İnce, reading "It will not end like this", referring to his defeat in June 24 elections.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP) has rejected calls for a snap convention from the party's defeated presidential candidate Muharrem İnce, expressing his frustration over the latter's initiative.

Muharrem İnce, the presidential candidate of the Republican People's Party (CHP), said he urged CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to hold a convention for a change of the party's leadership and offered him to become the honorary leader of the social-democratic party.

Main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) presidential candidate Muharrem İnce responded to inner-party debates and said he would not step up against CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for the leadership, adding that he would continue his mission to be "the president of 81 million people."

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu refuted assessments that his party was defeated in the June 24 polls and said "no one can describe us as unsuccessful."

Sunday's election in Turkey—which saw a remarkable 87 percent turnout—yielded a victory for strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This, despite a surprisingly strong opposition challenge that he had not seen before.

Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has faced multiple calls from inside the party to resign from the leadership after the June 24 elections. 

Turkey's election authority has confirmed Turkey's strongman for 16 years, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, won Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections, with 99.7 per cent of the votes counted.

Democracy was the winner of Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections, Erdogan said on June 25.

Muharrem İnce, the presidential candidate of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), conceded defeat in the June 24 presidential elections on June 25, denying social media rumors that he was "threatened" by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
