MHP Official Claims 'By-Election' Will Expose Pollster Manipulation

Feti Yıldız, Deputy Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) responsible for Law and Election Affairs, has sharply criticized polling companies. He alleges that some firms present inaccurate data to manipulate voter choices, particularly in light of upcoming by-elections.

Yıldız pointed to by-elections scheduled for Sunday in Yolüstü and Çevrecik in Tokat's Reşadiye district, Bağtaşı in Almus, Kuşçu in Yeşilyurt, Tekke in Gümüşhane, and Mustafapaşa in Nevşehir's Ürgüp district. These elections will select mayors and municipal council members for towns.

Presenting false, incorrect, misleading, or incomplete information to direct, inform, and manipulate, distributing vote shares to political parties through dirty relationships at the desk, some global agreement companies have become operational tools in democracies.

"Presenting false, incorrect, misleading, or incomplete information to direct, inform, and manipulate, distributing vote shares to political parties through dirty relationships at the desk, some global agreement companies have become operational tools in democracies," Yıldız stated on his X account. He asserted that the results of these by-elections will once again reveal this reality.

The MHP official's full statement emphasized that these by-elections, along with the selection of neighborhood headmen and council members in 362 neighborhoods across the country, are significant. He reiterated his accusation that certain entities manipulate public opinion through polling, turning some global companies into instruments for political interference within democratic systems.

This reality will be seen once again after the by-elections.
