The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Chairman Sencer Ayata, following CHP's meeting with academics on Sunday in western Turkey, said that the CHP will not enter into an alliance with any party in the upcoming June 7 general election.With only months to go before the June 7 election, when 21 parties are eligible to participate, it was alleged that the CHP would create an alliance with the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP).Ruling out the allegations, Ayata said that all deputy candidate nominees would be elected with primary elections. Holding talks with academics for five hours, CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu gave no speech after the meeting. Regarding the course of the meeting, Ayata said that women and children's issues came into the forefront during the meeting. In December, political circles in Ankara were awash with claims that the CHP and HDP have already started talks to form an electoral alliance for the upcoming election. However, CHP Secretary-General Gürsel Tekin denied the allegations with a written statement. Indicating that the speculations are made by referring to unfounded news related to "two parties that are to make an alliance," Tekin said that conspiracy theories are constructed out of misleading information.Even though it was denied by both HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş and CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu, the government and some CHP deputies drew attention to a possible alliance between the two parties. Deputy Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AK Party) spokesperson Bülent Arınç said in December that the CHP and HDP have been preparing for an alliance. Despite all these refutations, Kılıçdaroğlu said on Jan. 1, "an electoral alliance with the HDP is currently not on our agenda, but in politics even 24 hours is a long time."
