Turkey’s right-wing Igi Party has proposed that the mayors of Ankara and Istanbul serve as vice presidents if the opposition wins May’s election, its spokesman said today, while an official from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) said the party he accepts Igi’s proposal for the vice presidents.

Igi left the opposition alliance last week and his proposal today could pave the way for him to return to it.

Igi, which was the second-largest party in the six-party alliance, pulled out last week after its leader, Meral Aksener, rejected the expected presidential bid of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the CHP.

Aksener had proposed, instead of Kilicdaroglu, the candidacy of either Ekrem Imamoglu or Mansur Yavas, mayors of Istanbul and Ankara respectively, saying that polls show that they could win by a large margin over Erdogan.

Hours before the five remaining parties in the alliance were to announce Kilicdaroglu as their candidate, the two mayors had a brief meeting with Aksener, who made a new offer to them to serve as vice presidents if the opposition alliance wins its election. May 14th.

Aksener made an “inclusive” proposal, spokesman Kursan Zorlu told reporters minutes after the two mayors wrapped up the meeting.

“He forwarded the proposal that the two mayors serve as executive vice presidents,” Zorlou said. “Our leader will forward this proposal to Kilicdaroglu in the next few minutes,” he added.

A senior CHP official told Reuters that Turkey’s largest opposition party accepts Meral Aksener’s proposal.

The same official added that the other leaders of the opposition alliance would consider the proposal.
