The motion within the party continues following the 'absolute nullity' decision against the CHP. Balıkesir Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Akın, who is said to be mediating, arrived at Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's office once again in the evening. Before entering, Akın made statements to the press, giving an evasive answer to the question, "Will you continue with Kılıçdaroğlu?"
It was learned that Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Akın was at Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's house last night during the hours when the absolute nullity decision was announced. Visiting Kılıçdaroğlu at his home in the morning, Akın then attended the meeting of metropolitan mayors gathered at the CHP headquarters upon Özgür Özel's call.
TOUGH QUESTION TO THE 'INTERMEDIARY' ON LIVE BROADCAST
Ahmet Akın, who is said to be an 'intermediary' between Kılıçdaroğlu and Özel, came to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's office once again in the evening. Before entering, Akın made statements to the press. When asked, 'You were also in Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's MYK. Will you continue in that position?', he replied, 'I have no idea. I came for a visit again... This is not up to my discretion. I send my respects. May whatever is best happen.'
"UNITY AND SOLIDARITY WILL BE THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING"
In his previous statement in front of Kılıçdaroğlu's house, Akın said, 'Let everyone be at ease. We will overcome this together. The Republican People's Party, which founded Turkey, always continues with unity, solidarity, and an inclusive attitude. These are ordinary things; unity and solidarity will be the cure for everything.'
THERE WERE CLAIMS HE WOULD JOIN THE AK PARTY
For a long time, there have been reports that Ahmet Akın would join the AK Party. In a statement regarding these claims the other day, Akın said, 'As a child of Gazi Mustafa Kemal, I work wholeheartedly for his two great works. I strive to be worthy of the Republic, to carry the ideas of the Republican People's Party, which believes in Atatürk's ideals, to power, and to serve locally with the same principles. I have said it many times, and I say it again; I am a member of the Republican People's Party.'
