Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu answered questions about the alliance in the television program he attended.
Karamollaoğlu stated that the alliance formula within the alliance is almost complete and pointed out that it would be beneficial for Saadet Party, Future (Gelecek) Party and Democracy and Progress (DEVA) Party to enter the elections under a single list and a single emblem.
Karamollaoğlu said, "In the public opinion polls, the potential rises to the level of 15-17 percent when we come together. I said that the three parties of Table of Siz, the DEVA Party, the Future Party and Saadet Party, come together and enter the elections jointly, which will increase our vote potential and we will see the results of this in the Parliament. One list, under one emblem."
"LET'S MAKE IT PERFORM UNDER THE EMBLEM OF THE SAADET PARTY"
Karamollaoğlu stated that the work on the intra-alliance alliance process continues but 99 percent has been completed, and that they want the alliance to be realized under Saadet Party emblem.
"We, as Saadet Party, have been in political life for 20 years, we have had at least 7 elections and we have an election experience. And since we have participated in the elections before that, we have representatives in the election boards, and we are officially at the ballot boxes as a member of the ballot box committee. It is different for a person to be there as a witness, and to be a member of the ballot box committee. The observer is an observer, but a ballot box committee member is one of the people who will decide on the issue if there is a conflict," Karamollaoğlu added.
“IF ONE EMBLEM ONE LIST IS ELECTED, WE CAN BE REPRESENTED WITH 25 DEPUTIES”
Karamollaoğlu stated that there is a possibility that it will not happen until a final decision is taken, and drew attention to the researches on the situation of the three parties entering the elections together.
"We have done research on this in many places, our friends have done it, it seems that if we enter the elections one by one under today's conditions, we get between 2 and 4 percent of the votes. By entering separately, the total votes that all of us will receive reaches 7-8 percent. But the probability of having a representative in the Assembly is very low, at most two deputies. Therefore, if we enter together, if we can get 7-8 percent of the votes, we will be represented by 15-20, maybe 25 deputies. That's why I say to our friends: What is our desire when we go to the elections, to be represented in the Parliament by many deputies on May 15th. I'm telling the worst scenario, everyone entered the election alone, in which case each party will be represented by 1, 2 or 3 deputies, no matter how hard it is. But if we do not bring up our own emblem for a certain period of time until the election, but after the election we reach the number to form a group in the Assembly, we will make effective propaganda in the Assembly and in the public for 5 years. After all, everyone wants to enter the election with their own emblem, we cannot find it strange. We need a break alone, 1 month old. Our friends see that in opinion polls, when we come together, the potential goes up to the level of 15-17 percent. But 'potential'. I promise you, the issue is different, the potential is different," Karamollaoğlu stated.
