We kept our first promise on March 23 last year, we determined the Presidential candidate with a primary election. Without resorting to any excuses, I say once again that I am ready to compete with every delegate. However, announce the date of the congress. 15 days before the congress, let’s put ballot boxes in the Republican People’s Party organizations, call 2 million members, and let 2 million Republican People’s Party members decide who will be the Chairman.
Let’s go to the official congress with the candidacy of that person for the Chairman of the ballot box. I am not afraid of the congress, but for real energy, I want a primary election for the General Presidency with all members. Stating that he broke the all-time primary election record by receiving 84 percent of the votes in the primary election held in Manisa in 2015, Özel said, “If I receive less than 85 percent of the votes in this primary election, I will not seek office.
