A Turkish opposition leader threw an opposition alliance against President Tayyip Erdogan into turmoil on Friday when she withdrew her party from the bloc due to disagreement over who should run for president in elections scheduled in two months.
"As of yesterday, the 'Table of Six' has lost the ability to reflect the will of the people in its decisions," she said, signaling her party's exit from the alliance.
Speaking after Aksener's announcement, Kilicdaroglu downplayed the disagreement over the presidential candidate. It had said the leaders would gather again on Monday to announce their final decision. But following that meeting, Aksener went to her party's headquarters in Ankara and held a meeting with IYI leaders until the early hours of the morning.DOUBTS ON KILICDAROGLU
"Just like over the past 20 years, the opposition turned out to be President Tayyip Erdogan’s greatest asset," Piccoli wrote. "With the main opposition bloc in disarray, Erdogan is now much better positioned to prevail on 14 May."
