As the Nov. 1 elections approach, political parties in Turkey completed their deputy candidate lists and submitted them to the Supreme Election Board (YSK) on Friday. While several well-known figures from parties were left off the lists for the elections, the candidacy of certain figures drew attention.Among the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) young and well-supported deputy candidates, one who stands out is Sabah newspaper's economy columnist Berat Albayrak, who worked as a manager in the private sector for many years and is a board member of Turkuvaz Media Group. After studying finance in the U.S., he became the CEO of Çalık Holding. Albayrak has also been in the spotlight for his seminal views on economic issues.Interim Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci was selected as a deputy candidate once again from the western province of Denizli. Although he was not expected to be a candidate, former Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan became a candidate from Ankara on the AK Party list. He played a significant role in clearing Turkey's debt with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other important developments in Turkey's economy. Serving as the economy minister in the 58th and 59th governments and appointed as the chief EU negotiator in 2005, he first served as foreign minister and was later appointed as deputy prime minister in the 60th government. Cemil Çiçek, the former Parliament speaker was included on the list of the same province. Former Labor and Social Security Minister Faruk Çelik, who transferred to the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa due to the rotation regulation in 2011, will be a candidate from the same province as well.Interim Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek, who is an important Kurdish-origin figure of Turkey's success story with its economy and who formulated the fiscal policy of the country during the recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis, is listed as a deputy candidate from the southeastern Gaziantep province.President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's key adviser Binali Yıldırım, who is also a co-founder of the AK Party and has previously served as the transport, maritime and communication minister, is listed as a deputy candidate from İzmir.While it was expected that the Republican People's Party (CHP) will enter the elections with almost the same list of deputies as the one in the June 7 elections, reportedly, Vice Chairman Murat Özçelik, who declared after the June 7 elections that he and his family voted for the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), was not nominated for deputy candidacy. Former CHP chairman and Antalya deputy, Deniz Baykal and Yalova deputy Muharrem İnce, who had been in a rivalry with Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, retained their places on the list.Öztürk Yılmaz, the former Mosul consul general who was held captive by Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) terrorists in Mosul with 49 others in June 2014, received the first position on the list for his hometown in the northeastern province of Ardahan.Istanbul deputy Gamze Akkuş İlgezdi, who came to the fore with the "BuzGate" corruption allegations in which she and her husband were accused of purchasing 15 very expensive flats in two Istanbul residences that are unaffordable based on their financial means, is listed as candidate again. As for the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), there are some striking changes to the list compared to the June 7 elections. Among the most popular figures and allegedly a potential rival for MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, former interior minister and Istanbul deputy, Meral Akşener, was not included on the MHP deputy candidate list.Among high-profile candidates, former central bank governor and 11th president, Abdullah Gül's adviser Durmuş Yılmaz is listed as a deputy candidate for Uşak province.Levent Tüzel, who was among the figures that Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu sent a proposal for a seat in the interim Cabinet, was not included on the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy candidate list. HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş had previously said Tüzel's actions were contradicting to the party's stance.
