Manavgat Mayor Niyazi Nefi Kara, who was arrested in a bribery investigation, announced that he has resigned from the CHP.

MANAVGAT MAYOR RESIGNED FROM CHP

After being arrested as part of a bribery investigation and subsequently removed from office, Manavgat Mayor Niyazi Nefi Kara resigned from the CHP with harsh words. Claiming that his party had abandoned him, Kara stated that he was not angry with the CHP members. In his statement, Kara said: "Dear citizens of Manavgat, dear friends, as of today, I have resigned from my ancestral home, the Republican People's Party."

"THE PARTY MANAGEMENT HAS ABANDONED ME"

Unfortunately, the party's upper management has "suspended my membership" as part of a discrediting operation against the Republican People's Party conducted through me, effectively abandoning me. I had accepted this decision with maturity due to the extraordinary developments that occurred. However, while cries of "presumption of innocence" were raised for other arrested mayors, the management's approach of considering me guilty and throwing me in front of the biased press, despite there being no court decision (not even an indictment) regarding me, has made it impossible for me to continue on this path.

"MY REACTION IS DIRECTED AT THE PARTY OFFICIALS WHO SACRIFICED ME"

I am not angry with my party and my party members. My reaction is directed at the party officials who have become a balancing force both centrally and locally and deemed it worthwhile to sacrifice me on this path. As Niyazi Nefi Kara, I will continue to walk the streets of Manavgat with my head held high and my dignity intact at the end of the trial process. I look forward to reuniting very soon under the same sky. I love you all very much."
