Aydin Deputy Omer Karakas, who resigned from the İYİ Party, and Izmir Deputy Mustafa Bilici, who left the New Path Party, attended the AK Party's 25th anniversary program. The two deputies are expected to have their badges pinned by President Erdogan and officially join the AK Party.
While the excitement of AK Party's 25th anniversary continues, developments that stirred political circles have occurred. Two deputies who left the opposition ranks drew attention by attending AK Party's official celebration program.
ANNOUNCED HIS RESIGNATION, CAME TO THE AK PARTY PROGRAM
Aydın Deputy Ömer Karakaş, who had been on the agenda with claims that he would join the AK Party for some time, announced that he resigned from the İYİ Party before the celebration program. Publishing a statement on his social media account, Karakaş said, "I am resigning from the İYİ Party, of which I am a founder and deputy, as I see it necessary."
Immediately after this post, Karakaş was seen arriving at the AK Party's 25th anniversary celebration program at the Capital National Garden on the evening of the same day.
MUSTAFA BİLİCİ ALSO AT THE CELEBRATION AREA
Another surprising name at the event was İzmir Deputy Mustafa Bilici. Bilici, who resigned from the New Path Party after the Future Party's decision to dissolve itself, was also among those attending the program.
EXPECTED TO HAVE THEIR BADGES PINNED BY PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN
The two deputies, who attended the AK Party's 25th anniversary program after their resignations, are expected to officially join the party when President Erdoğan pins their badges.
