To the question "Are you considering running for president again?" the CHP leader replied, "No, I have no such thought."
WHO WILL BE THE CHP'S CANDIDATE? HE ALSO ANSWERED THAT QUESTION
CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu was also asked whom he had in mind as the CHP's presidential candidate after his own candidacy. Answering the question "Are there names you have in mind to be the CHP's candidate?" Kılıçdaroğlu stated that it was not yet right to make an assessment based on names.
The CHP leader used the following statements in his statement: "I do not think it is right at all to have a presidential debate starting today. The country is truly on fire. Look, you see it, I mean; there are families who cannot make ends meet, there is unemployment, there is a drug problem, we have problems in foreign policy, we have problems in domestic policy. Parliament cannot fulfill its duty, there is major decay in the institutions. Now, in such a picture, while we should sit down and discuss the issue you mentioned, I do not find it right to lock onto different places. We need to focus on these problems. We need to do something to solve these problems."
