It has been claimed that Beyoğlu Deputy Mayor Sefer Karaahmetoğlu, a member of the CHP, resigned from his post and has been unreachable for three days. While the claim that Karaahmetoğlu will join the AK Party has also come to the agenda, it is assessed that a possible resignation could change the balance of governance at Beyoğlu Municipality.
It was claimed that a development that could affect political balances took place at Beyoğlu Municipality. While it was alleged that CHP Deputy Mayor Sefer Karaahmetoğlu resigned from his post, the claim that he could not be contacted for three days drew attention.
HE WAS ELECTED DEPUTY MAYOR IN 2025
Sefer Karaahmetoğlu was elected deputy mayor on August 22, 2025, after Beyoğlu Mayor İnan Güney was arrested and removed from office.
In the election that lasted four rounds, Karaahmetoğlu received 16 votes, while the People's Alliance candidate Süleyman Baba remained at 14 votes. Thus, CHP's Karaahmetoğlu assumed the duty of deputy mayor at Beyoğlu Municipality.
IT WAS ALLEGED THAT HE WOULD MOVE TO THE AK PARTY
Following the claims that Karaahmetoğlu resigned, it was also alleged that he would join the AK Party.
The development in question brought with it debates over whether the deputy mayoralty at Beyoğlu Municipality would pass to the AK Party.
ALL EYES ON THE STATEMENT TO BE MADE
The claims that Karaahmetoğlu resigned, could not be reached for three days, and would join the AK Party have not yet been confirmed. No official statement information was shared regarding the matter.
