The blue preppy on the Twitter account of Presidential candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu was removed due to the changes made in his profile photo and cover photo. The 74-year-old politician’s checkmark on the platform came back in the past few minutes. However, it was seen that the tick was not blue this time.
Twitter gave Kılıçdaroğlu’s account a gray tick instead of a blue tick. This change was notable because the gray checkmark was given to government accounts or government-related accounts.
