Erdoğan’s rival hits a nerve with viral election video

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:37:10 GMT

The man seeking to dislodge Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as Turkey’s leader has shaken up next month’s presidential elections by declaring his identity as an Alevi — a member of the country’s main religious minority, which has often suffered discrimination.The statement by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the joint presidential candidate backed by six opposition parties, came in a Twitter video viewed almost 20 million times in less than 24 hours. The tweet itself was viewed some 70 million times.While most Turks have long known that Kılıçdaroğlu hails from the Alevi minority, his decision to stress his identity is being widely viewed as a plea for pluralism and tolerance, and an attempt to strike a contrast with Erdoğan, who has based much of his political career on his mainstream Sunni identity. Erdoğan has been accused of playing on Kılıçdaroğlu’s Alevi background at political rallies on several occasions, and Kılıçdaroğlu uses the video to counter that kind of polar...
