    I mean, one is a Turkish nationalist and the other is an Islamist. Afaik Kurds are pretty conservative so I didn’t expect them to vote the nationalist

      Kılıçdaroğlu isn’t a nationalist, he just pretented to be after his campaign failed in the first round. He pretended to be a hardcore nationalist to get some more votes from nationalist people that voted for Sinan Oğan.

      Ironically, he would have gotten more votes if he just pretended to be neutral on the topic.

          It used to be. There is nothing nationalistic about that party anymore. They are kicking the nationalist ones left and right, like a mayor called Tanju Özcan who was actually well-liked.

              That was after the 1st round, when he pretented to be a nationalist for 2 weeks as a last move.
