However, it is increasingly clear there are significant differences in the positions of each party in the opposition coalition.

Key Points: 
  • However, it is increasingly clear there are significant differences in the positions of each party in the opposition coalition.
  • Any issues related to the political system, secularism and foreign relations have become more polarised as Erdogan has consolidated his power in recent years.

A divided opposition

    • Turkey’s largest opposition party is the Republican People’s Party (the Turkish acronym for which is CHP).
    • This is a problem for the opposition, which has not done enough to counter the conservative politics of the ruling alliance.
    • The leader of the opposition is Kemal Kilicdaroglu, whom the Nation Alliance has nominated as its presidential candidate.
    • The opposition has argued this is a primary reason why Turkey is suffering economically, despite the widely acknowledged role of Erdogan’s disastrous monetary policy.
    • On the nationalist side, the opposition candidate for the 2018 presidential elections (Muharrem Ince) is running on behalf of his new Homeland Party.

No checks on the president

    • Since Erdogan pushed through a referendum in 2017 to abolish the prime minister’s office, the president has been able to exercise an unprecedented level of power.
    • Many observers blame the referendum for removing crucial checks on presidential power.
    • In addition, the opposition has also assured voters it will mend fences with Europe after ties deteriorated sharply under Erdogan’s rule.
    • It would try to unfreeze Turkey’s European Union accession talks, which have been stalled since 2018 due to the country’s democratic backsliding.
