In recent news, Turkey’s pro-Kurdish party, known as the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), has emerged as a kingmaker in the upcoming election. This influential party has made the strategic decision to not put forward its own presidential candidate, allowing its supporters to vote for Erdogan’s main rival. This move may just be enough to tip the balance and unseat the ruling party, led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The HDP’s decision is a significant setback for Erdogan, who has spent years cracking down on the party due to its increasing popularity and threat to his rule. Despite the persecution it has faced, the HDP still holds considerable influence and has the potential to shape the course of Turkey’s politics.
While the HDP has not yet announced its endorsement, its support could be instrumental in determining the outcome of the election. As the party represents a significant portion of Turkey’s Kurdish population, which makes up between 15% and 20% of the country’s population, its support can significantly impact the results. Furthermore, the HDP’s decision not to field a candidate shows a commitment to fulfilling its historical responsibility for countering the one-man rule in Turkey.
It is worth noting that there have been tensions between Erdogan and the HDP in the past. Initially, Erdogan courted the Kurds and worked with the HDP on a peace process with the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). However, relations soured, and the HDP became a target of the government crackdown on the PKK and its affiliates.
The HDP’s influence and potential endorsement hold immense value for Erdogan’s main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of the Republican People’s Party (CHP). Kilicdaroglu represents the opposition bloc, which poses a significant challenge to Erdogan’s rule. It is clear that the HDP’s decision not to field a candidate was a carefully crafted political move to shape the outcome of the election.
