Konda poll: Most AKP supporters want Kılıçdaroğlu to lead CHP

A striking poll by Konda Research has revealed unexpected sentiments regarding Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's leadership within Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP). The survey was conducted following a controversial "absolute nullity" decision concerning the party and a police presence at its headquarters.

According to Konda General Manager Aydın Erdem, who shared the findings on Flu TV, only a mere 5% of CHP members believe Kılıçdaroğlu should continue in his role as party leader. This figure suggests a significant internal dissatisfaction with his leadership among the party's own base.

However, the poll presents a curious paradox: a substantial number of supporters from rival parties express a desire for Kılıçdaroğlu to remain at the helm of the CHP. Specifically, 39% of supporters of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and 31% of supporters of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) indicated they want Kılıçdaroğlu to continue as CHP leader. This sentiment is echoed by 14% of DEM Party supporters, while 13% of respondents remained undecided.

The survey, conducted after the "absolute nullity" decision and police action, highlights a complex political landscape. The findings suggest that Kılıçdaroğlu's continued leadership might be more desired by opposition party members than by his own party's rank and file, a situation that could have significant implications for Turkey's political dynamics.
