Aydın Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu has resigned from the CHP. It is expected that Çerçioğlu will wear a badge at the AK Party's anniversary ceremony today. The first images of Çerçioğlu, who went to the AK Party Headquarters before the ceremony, have emerged.
"I CAN NO LONGER WALK THE SAME PATH AS CHP"
Çerçioğlu announced her resignation, stating, "As the Mayor of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality, my three mayors and I have repeatedly sought solutions to the problems we face within the Republican People's Party at the party's authorized offices, but unfortunately, we have not reached a conclusion. Due to the anti-democratic practices experienced, as well as my fundamental principles and the principles of honesty, service within the framework of laws, and not compromising on public morality that I owe to the people of Aydın and my family, I can no longer walk the same path as the Republican People's Party.

"MYSELF AND MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN TARGETED"
I especially want it to be known that despite expressing our demands for honesty, morality, and compliance with the law at every level to prevent reaching this point, myself and my family have been targeted. As a result, since there is no longer an opportunity to engage in politics within the Republican People's Party, I am resigning from party membership upon my own discretion. Just as I have served the people of Aydın without any discrimination until now, I will continue to serve with the same principles, and no citizen should have any doubt about that. I greet all the citizens of Aydın with my respects." she announced.
FIRST IMAGES FROM AK PARTY HEADQUARTERS
While CHP Chairman Özgür Özel was speaking, Çerçioğlu announced her resignation and went directly to the AK Party Headquarters. The first images of Çerçioğlu, who attended the AK Party's 24th Anniversary Ceremony, have also emerged. In the photos, the Mayor of Aydın appears to be quite cheerful.
FOLLOWED ERDOĞAN AND THE PRESIDENCY
After her resignation, Çerçioğlu also removed CHP members from her social media account. CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır shared that Çerçioğlu's social media account was following him, stating, "A shameful situation! May God not put anyone in this situation."
Çerçioğlu follows two accounts belonging to Aydın Metropolitan Municipality, the Presidency, and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Instagram.
