They hosted the household visits of CHP Istanbul Provincial Chair Canan Kaftancıoğlu. We did not observe their obligatory reactions during the visits that were made to a crack.
Removal of the citizen from the first floor ‘deepening poverty.’ Conservation in the country is only a ‘with a change in power’ They think it can be resolved. in the households visited ‘conservative’ voters are now against CHP as much as before. ‘distant’ not. Warm welcome to Kaftancıoğlu. Citizens ‘Common wisdom, not one-man rule’ wants.
When we asked Kaftancıoğlu about the possible candidate of the six table, he gave the following description: “When he sits in that chair, power viruses will not survive. He will work to give you your use, not to enrich himself. He will plan from today how your opinion will be resolved and will schedule it. When the time comes and when the system changes, ‘I have now done my collective counter duty’ The one who will say and go home.”
There are 10 million 898 thousand 267 voters in Istanbul. The number of Haneysa is 4 million 502 thousand 560. CHP Istanbul organization, under the chairmanship of Kaftancıoğlu, had visited 3 million 62 thousand 272 households until the end of 13 December 2022. In other words, it completed 68 percent of household visits across the province.

Citizen’s shelter isolation
On Tuesday, when we followed Kaftancıoğlu as Thorn, the doors of 1143 households in Şişli were knocked on.
Kaftancıoğlu talked by examining his problems and established close contacts. CHP’s projects were mentioned and Kılıçdaroğlu conveyed his greetings.
in households ‘neighbourhood’have a try. Their reaction was positive. While describing their problems, they also listed their expectations and solutions. Top priority of all ‘deepening poverty’tu. They agree that this arrangement can only be resolved with a change in power.
Also at the passenger door who is not at home during the visit. “We came to chat, we couldn’t find it” pasted in notes.
We wondered if he migrated to these notes later. Kaftancıoğlu said that it has become the future. Because people want their concerns to be heard and talked about.
‘Every woman expects to be supported’
A mother who has not been able to work for 12 years because she has a child in a house said: “We will bring accompanying mothers to working mothers. Every woman expects to be supported. At the moment I may be personally harmed. Because I had to raise children, I was deprived of my business legacy.”
Kaftancioglu ‘social state’ emphasized the CHP’s family support project: “Women should be employed and other aspects of life should change. You feel it because the current government didn’t think about it or not.”

Help, a workaround
When we entered the Kuştepe neighborhood, it became more clearly visible. Kaftancıoğlu households went around. He asked each household for help. Notes were taken and Kaftancıoğlu ordered an aid package to make up for the deficiencies of the households.
But while doing all this, he also drew attention to the following: This is not the solution. Help is a temporary solution. This is state protection. State protection to give you a decent life. Eliminating these problems reveals policies that will permanently remove them. That’s why you should go to the ballot box and vote.”
Kaftancıoğlu answered my questions while I was in the car amid the intense rush.
You’ve been going house to house for months. You are in close contact with citizens. What does the citizen tell you, what does he use?
The first thing we noticed when we contacted the electorate is that there is an incredible gap between the owner’s business and the occupation of those who speak and debate on television and the scope of politics in power. The use of the citizen is the poverty that is deepening day by day. They can’t solve even the smallest problem in the government office. Each one is actually solvable. When we go to the houses, no matter what identity, what beliefs, what kind of life we try, there is hardly a door that does not open when we knock on the door of the owners in a genuine and sincere manner.
Citizens are waiting for an election and a change of power as soon as possible
What is the expectation of the citizens from the table of six?
Citizens have the property that their settings cannot be resolved by the current government. Citizens have experienced the consequences of the delivery period that the future of this country is demanded by a single person – the name is not important – and they have seen it differently. However, he thinks that he can find a solution to the draw discussions with the change of political power. Because the citizens are so pessimistic, they have an attitude and behavior about the future… ‘This government certainly cannot solve my problem, if it were to solve it, it would not make it like this. It can only be solved if my problems can be solved with a ruling party. says.
There is only one issue under the control of the citizen. This understanding of power, one-man rule, did not solve any of his problems and caused the system he changed to increase exponentially. ‘Only a change of political power, an institutionalized structure and a common mind can solve my struggles. No matter who represents this common sense, in the feeling.
We conduct our visits from a change of understanding, from the restructuring of state institutions with a common mind, not a single man. We explain how we destroyed the relationship between politics and citizens, by building a social state, apart from the relationship of loyalty to those who get votes and help to get votes. Even if the citizens have an election as soon as possible, these stories make us feel very clear as they come to life.

‘Citizens do not want a single man, they want a common mind’
Don’t they say, ‘Let this presidential candidate be the candidate’?
On the doors I knock, I do not encounter this, “I will vote if this candidate is there, or I will not vote if he is not this day” he doesn’t say. Citizen says “When you come to power, can you solve my education problem?” That’s what makes me angry sometimes. Nothing that is not in the participation of the citizens is on the agenda at the beginning of making politics, as if it were the owner’s concern. Conscious and presumed.
The candidate who will decide the six-table – we guarantee this because he explains it at the six-table – will not experience the power virus when he sits in that chair. He will work to give you your use, not to enrich himself. He will plan from today how your troubles will be resolved and will schedule it. When the time comes and when the system changes, “I have done my duty to the community now” The person who will say and go home.
It doesn’t matter who it is. Citizens are accepted in this profile tariff. Out of curiosity, someone may ask who is this, or someone may say let it be. But that’s not using citizens.
The biggest problem with this country is that everything is decided by a single person. We are an understanding against it, and it is not possible to represent that understanding with a single name. A staff, a holistic study, will bring that resident to the level. It doesn’t matter whether that person’s name is Canan or Ali.
‘We went to the conservatives and explained the interpretation’
There are voters distant from CHP. ‘Worried conservativesAlso called ‘. These visits are against the party.prejudices‘how to wear?
Citizens have several different areas of concern. It’s about livelihood. Not their own future, but their future is an important area of concern.
Conservatives have a legitimate area of concern. Because we didn’t go and tell them. It has reached those who tell us that we are not. That’s why he says he’s a citizen, “Let my economic concerns be resolved, but also interfere with my lifestyle.” Citizens had serious concerns about this because they had listened to CHP from others before. our president “We aspire to find people earthly. Afterlife experiences or values, beliefs are not our subject and you should not have the slightest concern about it.” I see that the statement caused a serious relief to the citizens. I think that this process led by our president is one of the reasons why the owner, who has concerns that those who express themselves as conservative or religious, will be able to go to school with the headscarf again if the CHP comes to power. Therefore, we can communicate with the citizens more easily.
We see that these prejudices are broken more with the home visit.
He says in the houses we go to, “When the CHP came to power, they were saying why do you vote with flowers on your headscarf. We looked and there is no such thing.” Because that’s normal. We have headscarved employees.
Will the success in the local elections be achieved in the general elections in Istanbul?
As we go to the local elections “Getting Istanbul back to Istanbul people” we said. We achieved this together with a system study for two years until the election. While going to the general elections, I make the following assertive sentence; The CHP will receive the historic vote it has received so far in Istanbul.
Coming in the polls, the end of the prediction will get one vote.
Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) “We will be the hardest working soldier of the six tables” said. What is the meaning of protection within the scope of IMM’s general elections in the field?
We have a second advantage after the local elections in Istanbul. When we meet with Istanbulites, we tell our promises. We were listening to our district municipalities, but if the voter did not live in that district, it would not be different from him. Our advantage in this process is that there is now an Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, which serves the citizens in Istanbul, not according to what they vote, but all that they use. Currently, IMM is opening a dormitory to take thousands of students from the cult dormitories and accommodate them within its own structure. The nursery is opening. It supports the poor regardless of which party they vote for. This reflects positively on our view on the field.
We convey these works to their owners through extensive interaction with both the party organization, the deputies and the IMM. We all work with the same motivation.
Transitions from undecided voters to CHP are substantial.
Are you confidently ambitious to persuade undecided voters?
I’m speaking very, very assertively for those under the age of 30. CHP is the party that will get the most votes from under 30 voters. In Istanbul, he manages this very assertively. Undecided voters over the age of 30 are getting consolidated day by day. There has been a significant development from undecided voters to CHP.
Consume it permanently while I have it done. Damage from my field observations as well. Voter “I voted for AKP, I will not vote anymore, but I don’t know who to vote for” says. When we maintain a healthy communication with that voter, he becomes able to vote for the CHP.
Within the scope of the Istanbul meeting
While visiting the houses, you closely observed what Istanbul saw. You have mentioned this in several places. Especially in neighboring neighborhoods, this problem has deepened even more. What was the most striking event you encountered during your visits?
An association called the Association for Fighting Meetings is established in Kağıthane. It is learned later that the building is actually more expensive depictions of demons…’Struggle‘ under the name of the cheaper-looking devil ‘baggers’ they are fighting their own fights to get rid of the market among themselves. In other words, they are forming an association to expel them from there. ‘The fight against drugs’ Under the guise of keeping those people away from Kağıthane, the understanding that founded that association, the person starts marketing their structures, which they see as more expensive.
I frequently meet with farmers and individuals who are victims of drugs. What they perceived when they captured all the nests knew who it belonged to. Everyone knows everything. The police know, too. The security forces rightly say that; “The drug dealer is released the day after they arrive.”
They usually sell drugs in the form of a man and a woman at certain places at school gates. They are known.
