But some of them are not happy about it
Mr Kilicdaroglu’s nomination, expected to be a formality, became a drama. On March 3rd, a day after opposition leaders confirmed they had settled on a candidate, Mrs Aksener suddenly walked away from the Table of Six, said she refused to back Mr Kilicdaroglu, and called on Ekrem Imamoglu and Mansur Yavas, themayors of Istanbul and Ankara, to throw their hats in the ring.
Mrs Aksener’s misgivings about Mr Kilicdaroglu are not entirely misplaced. For an opposition committed to dismantling Mr Erdogan’s executive presidency, a byword for one-man rule, and to cooling down tensions at home and abroad, the unassumingleader, less rabble-rouser than paper-pusher, may be the best possible president. But he may also be the worst possible candidate.
Mrs Aksener’s botched power play, however, has damaged not only her own standing with voters but also the opposition’s collective image. Her walkout reminded many Turks of the 1990s, when squabbling politicians brought down one coalition government after another. Mr Erdogan is sure to spend the next two months jogging their memories.
But he will need to do more than that to beat Mr Kilicdaroglu. Slowing growth and 55% inflation have nibbled away at support for Turkey’s leader and his governing coalition, made up of the Justice and Development and Nationalist Movement parties. The government also came under fire over its slow response to last month’s earthquakes that killed over 52,000 people in southern Turkey and Syria. Rescue teams took days to reach major cities, condemning countless survivors to die under the rubble.
