The mayoral candidates are “fighting” to be next to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ahead of the municipal elections at the end of March, as Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbul.

Candidate mayors kiss Erdogan’s hand on stage, others push each other to be closer to the president, while others are pushed away.

Erdogan shouted: “Haran! The candidate of the People’s Alliance, Bulent Yavuz! Thank you!”.

The historic push for a place next to Erdogan

The unforgettable “head” of the candidate mayor under the hands of Erdogan

SOZCU TV report: “The chairman of the Party Committee of the Haran region, who is from the Nationalist Action Party, Bulet Özyavuz, tried to stand by Erdoğan. The rest of the AKP did not allow him to and during the greeting Ozyavuz tried to hold someone’s hand, no one caught him and he greeted himself.

This is not the first fight for a seat next to Erdogan in the city of Sanliurfa. When Erdogan would make a statement about the earthquakes. Nebati was not satisfied with his position and wanted to stand next to the president. However, at that point was the president’s wife, Emine Erdogan. And then he went a little to the left. Nebati had earlier pushed the vice chairman of the Party Committee Binali Yildirim.. These actions unsettled Erdogan.

These images are from the 2019 election campaign from the city of Nigdis. Another presentation of party candidates. When the candidate mayor Kemal Beser was left behind, he didn’t manage to pass in front, he found the opportunity when Erdogan raised his hands and then showed his head! Erdogan saw a head under his armpit! and he got angry and bewildered!

Fatih Portakal, host of SOZCU TV, commented: “You can laugh as much as you want. Who knows what became of that man with the head in Nigdis. Who knows what he’s doing.”
