Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has once again slammed government-pushed constitutional amendments for a shift to a presidential system.

“I want to once again remind you that the presidency is not a post either for tyranny over the nation or for the unlimited ego of one person,” Kılıçdaroğlu wrote on his official Twitter account on Jan. 13.

“No one should think that being elected gives them absolute and unlimited power. They should not think they have power over everybody and every institution,” he added.

“[Presidents] should not try to declare as an enemy any opposition and anyone they see as an opponent. They should not try to crush them for their own survival,” the CHP leader also stated.
