Former Kars Municipality Co-Mayor Ayhan Bilgen, who is claimed to become the chief advisor to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu—who returned to the CHP leadership with a "nullity" decision—broke his silence on the process. Stating that he supports Kılıçdaroğlu's stance and will continue to contribute, Bilgen said regarding the chief advisor claims: "No offer has been made to me, and I have no such request."
The claim that former Kars Municipality Co-Mayor Ayhan Bilgen will become the chief advisor to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the position of CHP Chairman with an absolute nullity decision, caused a bombshell on the agenda.
"I SUPPORT KILIÇDAROĞLU'S ATTITUDE" While the echoes of the incident continue, Ayhan Bilgen, making statements to Haberler.com News Director Olgun Kızıltepe, stated that he has supported Kılıçdaroğlu from the very beginning, saying "I think the opposition should be cleared of allegations against them. In this process, I support Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's attitude. I provide whatever contribution I can, and I will continue to do so."
Ayhan Bilgen "THERE IS NO OFFER MADE TO ME" Answering the question of whether he will take a role alongside Kılıçdaroğlu, Bilgen used the expressions, "There is no offer made to me regarding taking a role. In this sense, I have no request either."
