Turkey’s right-wing IYI Party leader Meral Aksener has said that the country’s six-party opposition alliance no longer reflected the national will, signalling her party’s withdrawal from the grouping ahead of May elections.
Aksener told a news conference on Friday that the IYI Party’s proposed presidential candidates, the mayors of Istanbul and Ankara, were not accepted by the other five parties, and called on the mayors to do their duty, in an apparent invitation for them to stand as candidates.
