Following Aydın Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu, it has been suggested that another mayor from the Republican People's Party (CHP) will switch to the Justice and Development Party (AK Party). The claim was made by AK Party member Savcı Sayan, who stated, "It is only a matter of time before an important mayor from the CHP joins our party. They are waiting for the approval of our esteemed President. The source is reliable..."

Former AK Party Ağrı Mayor Savcı Sayan claimed that an important mayor from the CHP will join the AK Party.

Aydın Metropolitan Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu, who has held various positions in the CHP for 23 years and has been governing Aydın for three terms, joined the AK Party yesterday. In her resignation message, Çerçioğlu announced her resignation with the statements, "Due to the anti-democratic practices experienced, as well as the principles of honesty, service within the framework of laws, and not compromising public morality, I can no longer walk the same path as the Republican People's Party."

"SOLID SOURCE"

After the transfer that changed the balances, a new claim came from AK Party's Savcı Sayan. Sayan wrote the following on his social media account:

"It is only a matter of time before an important mayor from the CHP joins our AK PARTY.. They are waiting for the approval of our esteemed President.. Solid source… At this rate, the CHP's job is tough.. Özgür Özel sacrificed the CHP to İmamoğlu.."
