But the people of Izmir have Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer and being dissatisfied with the understanding of municipalism, other parties not supporting the CHP and fielding their own candidates, and the AK Party nominating a strong name like Hamza Dağ, who knows both urban sociology and politics well, may put the CHP in difficulty in these elections.
So, how are the political balances in Izmir now? Will the balances change in Izmir? In what direction is a possible change expected? Does CHP think it can win Izmir easily?
Journalist-Writer Abdullah Kocabaş, made evaluations to Everybody Duysun about the general situation of Izmir politics and possible election scenarios.
“İZMİR LOST 5 YEARS BECAUSE OF TUNÇ SOYER”
Journalist-Author Abdullah Kocabaş stated that when considered in the context of services, the people of Izmir do not receive a wide range of services and said, “İzmir, a city known as the CHP's stronghold. He won the past elections by a significant margin, but there may be a change in this election. Because the people of Izmir are disturbed by the current situation. This CHP voterI say this by including. That's what matters; The discomfort of the people of Izmir is that they complain about the lack of any service in Izmir. Izmir, Tunç Soyer He lost a whole five years without being served because of this. There is serious disinformation in the branches of the municipality and a situation such as the establishment of a maverick team and the inadequacy of the municipality in this regard has occurred. Therefore, Izmir wasted five years.” he said.
“WIND OF CHANGE RETURNED TO IZMIR”
Kocabaş pointed out that when we look at the voter base in Turkey, Izmir is always held in a different place and said: politicians is also included. It is obvious that there are many CHP voters in Izmir, but this does not always mean that the CHP will win. In Izmir, most of the time, the Democratic Party and a right-wing conservative mayor have served for many years. Therefore, it is not right to put Izmir at a polar point, but thanks to Soyer, CHP voters saw that ideological ideas and masses were clustered at very extreme points and that some permanent changes were forced in the demographic structure of Izmir. Tunç SoyerThis thought was at the basis of the defeat suffered by . Soyer's CHP Chairman Özgür Özel "This wind of change was also reflected in Izmir, as he was not re-nominated by Izmir." said.
“THE DEMOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE OF IZMIR CHANGED WITH TUNÇ SOYER”
CHP voters Tunç SoyerNoting that the distrust in the party turned into distrust in the party, Kocabaş made the following statements in his evaluation:
“With Soyer, there was a change in the demographic structure of Izmir and the people of Izmir noticed this. Therefore, no matter which mayoral candidate the CHP nominates at this point, this situation will be reflected in the ballot box. “The election will enable this change to be seen.”
“IT WILL POSITIVELY REFLECT ON THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE'S ALLIANCE”
in Izmir, People's Alliance Journalist-Writer Abdullah Kocabaş noted that all parties, except one, came to the field with their own candidates and stated that this situation could have a positive impact on the People's Alliance and said, “Hamza Dağ is a candidate who has been involved in politics in the AK Party for a long time, grew up in Izmir and knows the movements of the masses closely. He is a mayoral candidate who reads the political and sociological structure well and is in constant contact with his organizations. This situation will also be reflected in Izmir's election results. It will increase the votes of the People's Alliance positively, but this does not mean that it will win completely. We may be faced with the result that CHP is ahead by 3 points and AK Party is ahead by 2 points. "It is highly likely that we will see a neck-and-neck election race in Izmir on March 31." he said.
