The candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) continue to meet people as part of their election campaign. Despite the attacks and obstacles, the candidates are working around the clock to ensure the maximum results for their party on 24 June.

ADANA

The HDP has step up its election work in Adana. Candidates Edip Çaçan and Beritan Önen visited the market in the district of Yüreğir. Party members who received positive reactions from the shop keepers requested support for ensuring the overcoming of the threshold. The artisans, who reiterated their support for the HDP, said that on 24 June the one-man regime would end.

Deputy candidates Sever Uzun and Deniz Varol visited the villages of Dagestan and Yalak in Ceyhan province and asked for support repeating the party’s slogan: “1 vote for HDP, 1 vote for Demirtaş”. Candidate Kemal Peköz visited the shopkeepers in Kocavezir business center.

MERSİN

In Mersin, the election work of the HDP candidates goes on with great enthusiasm across all districts and neighbourhoods. Meetings and canvassing were organised in Tarsus, Akdeniz, Toroslar, Yenişehir and other districts. The HDP candidates met with tradesmen and associations.

Candidates who presented themselves to the people, listened to the problems and troubles of the constituency. Candidates pointed out that the 16-year rule of the AKP actually increased problems and emphasized that the only party to be able to work for a solution of these problems is the HDP. They also stressed the importance of 24 June elections.

HATAY

HDP Adana deputy candidate Tülay Hatimoğulları also carried out election work in her hometown Samandağ district in Hatay district.

Candidates Hülya Kavuk and Kerem Nalbant, who were visiting the tradesmen in the district center, called for a vote for the HDP and listened to the problems of tradesmen.

Hatimoğulları, noting that both economy and foreign relations have deteriorated, added that the 24 June elections provide an opportunity to end the abuse by President Erdoğan and to get rid of the AKP regime.

Hatimoğulları emphasised that the people’s economic situation has worsened to the extent that for many it has become almost impossible to meet the basic needs. She added: “People could fill up their refrigerator for 30-40 liras before, but now this is not enough”.

Noting that the origin of the current economic crisis is the war policy, Hatimoğulları said: “There can be no peace and tranquility in a country where war is the main policy. In a country ridden by war, investors will not come”.
