In the AK Party, the provincial heads of Muğla, Çanakkale, Adıyaman, Niğde, Tunceli, Bitlis, Elazığ, and Ordu resigned in succession within 3 days. Following the wave of resignations, the first official statement from the party was made.

STATEMENT FROM THE AK PARTY

In the statement made by the AK Party, it was noted that as a result of comprehensive evaluations conducted to elevate the party's political presence in cities to the highest level after the congress period, a change of duty was made in 8 provinces.

"WORKS REMAINED BELOW THE DESIRED LEVEL"

In the statement, it was mentioned that the new provincial heads in Muğla, Çanakkale, Adıyaman, Niğde, Tunceli, Bitlis, Elazığ, and Ordu would start their duties shortly with their managements:

"The fact that our works in the cities remained below the desired level after the congress has formed the main axis of the change process. These changes of duty are being carried out in accordance with the courtesy and meaning of our AK Party being not just a political party, but a family fighting together for the same cause. The changes in our organizations will elevate the brotherhood among us and the energy in our works to a higher level as a tradition. Our main goal is to continue our struggle with our cadres, from which we will obtain the strongest result in the 2028 elections we will enter under the leadership of our Chairman, our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to continue the construction of the Century of Turkey."

SHAMİL TAYYAR: THE ISSUE IS DEEP

Following the successive resignations in the AK Party, a striking evaluation came from former AK Party MP Şamil Tayyar. In his social media post regarding the resignations, Tayyar indicated that the process would continue and used the following expressions:

"The number of provincial heads resigning from the AK Party has risen to 5. This number seems likely to increase further. Organization Chairman Ahmet Büyükgümüş is trying to reorganize the organizations as the election approaches. A scalpel needed to be applied to the organizations; they are doing the right thing. I hope they do not hesitate and apply the scalpel deeper. Because the issue is deep."
