The departure of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu from the CHP and her joining the AK Party has caused a significant stir in the political arena. Following this development, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who organized a rally in Aydın, launched a fierce attack on both Çerçioğlu and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"YOU ARE NOT ON AYDIN'S AGENDA"
Addressing the crowd gathered at Atatürk Kent Meydanı, Özel targeted Çerçioğlu, saying, "You were afraid and sought refuge with those who gave you your certificate in the cafeteria, now remain in the trash bin of history, you are not on Aydın's agenda." Pointing to the Aydın Metropolitan Municipality building, Özel stated, "That building, which has one broken-heeled heel, does not belong to political pickpockets, it belongs to you Aydin residents."
CALL TO PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN: LET'S RENEW THE AYDIN ELECTIONS
Özel also addressed President Erdoğan, calling for the renewal of elections in Aydın. Özel said, "I am making a call to Erdoğan. If you have the courage, let's renew the Aydın elections! Bring it on, let's put the ballot box in Aydın! Erdoğan's candidate is a political pickpocket, a political thief. I am announcing the CHP's candidate, it is all the people of Aydın in this square!"
