CHP General Chairman Özgür Özel and Manisa Şehzadeler Mayor Gülşah Durbay have both denied the allegations of an affair that have emerged, and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has broken his silence on the matter.

"GENTLEMEN, PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER"

In a post on his social media account, Kılıçdaroğlu addressed both the public and his party, stating: "Greetings to those who hear my silence and see my swallowed words. Gentlemen, pull yourselves together… Focus on the problems of our country that have come to the edge of the abyss! Fight against the Palace, which is the architect of this situation! Establish a social alliance for our national salvation! Demand early elections and take action!

"I AM FACING A SYSTEMATIC STRUCTURE"

For over a year, I have been facing a systematic structure that targets our party and me, regularly orchestrated by certain circles. I am genuinely curious about the purposes and who is encouraging these groups made up of politicians and journalists inside and outside my party.

"I CONDEMN THOSE WHO ORGANIZED THIS DESPICABLE OPERATION..."

I have never engaged in the politics of the traps set for me. The victim narrative is Erdoğan's tactic. My close circle knows that I was very saddened by the health condition of our esteemed Mayor. I pray for his speedy recovery. I condemn those who orchestrated this despicable operation.

I salute all women who do not succumb to male-dominated discourse; who do not take a step back against male violence. We will protect our women, we will be a shield for our children, we will support our youth, and we will defend our forests, seas, streams, and every inch of our homeland. As our Great Leader Atatürk said; 'Even if all the fortresses of our sacred homeland have been captured by force and trickery, we know where the power we need is.'
