The coalition also vowed to return to EU accession negotiations and to repair the fractured relationship with the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the coalition also officially changed its name to &#8216;National Alliance&#8217; from &#8216;Table of Six&#8217;, a move which observers say reflects the shift in the balance of power towards the two largest parties in the group, the liberal-nationalist CHP and the far-right nationalist IYI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite closer cooperation between the National Alliance members as elections approach in May, they has yet to put forward a candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu has hinted as stepping down from his current position. It could signify his willingness to take up the mantle of opposition leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a July 2022 poll, Kilicdaraglu beat Erdogan easily in a presidential runoff election, as did CHP politicians Ekren Imamoglu (who has since been handed a jail sentence) and Mansur Yavas, as well as IYI candidate Meral Aksener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EuropeElects\/status\/1619729601462243329?cxt=HHwWgsC89bTft_osAAAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent poll shared by Europe Elects<\/a> suggests none could. It all points towards a highly-contested election just over three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parliamentary elections will also be a key battleground. Erdogan&#8217;s AKP and its junior coalition partner, the MHP, currently have 35,7% of the electorate&#8217;s votes, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Opinion_polling_for_the_2023_Turkish_parliamentary_election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">says a January 2023 study.<\/a> The National Alliance hovers around the 50% mark, though it is unclear whether it could achieve a majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excluded from these calculations, as well as the National Alliance&#8217;s plans, is the pro-Kurdish HDP party, who currently is the second-largest opposition party in the Turkish parliament. The Turkish government has frozen is assets and is in the <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/90773\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">process of outlawing the party entirely<\/a>, yet its voters may yet be kingmakers this May.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Sasha
