Today, I took the first step toward a new beginning by officially applying to become the Presidential Candidate of the Republican People's Party (CHP), an organization I am honored to be a part of.

We are setting out on a journey with our nation, which deserves to live with dignity and longs for freedom, justice, prosperity, and unity.

We will make our state democratic and strong, our nation prosperous and peaceful, and our citizens equal and free.

We will implement parliamentary democracy, separation of powers, and checks and balances as soon as possible, prioritizing democratic participation.

We will address the concerns and worries of our people, reviving hope and dreams for the future together.

We will make justice the foundation of the state, not the government. We will free state institutions, science, art, sports, and media from partisanship. We will not see our opponents as enemies but will transform political competition into a fair, civilized, and honorable race in the presence of the people.

Together, we will protect our country, our unity, and our goal of a strong Türkiye.

We will work hard, earn more, and share fairly. As a nation, we will increase our prosperity. In this struggle, which we will walk with faith and hope, we will never tire and never give up.

We will make our Republic, entrusted to us by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and our martyrs, shine like a star in its second century. With the strong participation and prayers of our nation,

May our path be clear.
