President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was re-elected as the chairman of his party by receiving all 1547 votes at the 8th Ordinary Grand Congress of his party.
Erdoğan's team, which also determined the new Central Decision and Management Board (MKYK), became clear at the MKYK meeting. The new Central Executive Board (MYK) list was announced at the AK Party's 8th Grand Congress.
39 NEW NAMES INCLUDED
Former AK Party Member of Parliament Şamil Tayyar evaluated the congress, stating that there are 39 new names in the 75-member MKYK, while 36 names were left off the list.
Şamil Tayyar, who said, "From this point on, the issue of 'change' is closed," shared: "Especially after losing major cities like Istanbul/Ankara in local elections, when the vote rate around 50% dropped to the 30s, a very strong 'change' wind blew in the public and party base.
"WE INSISTED ON SHARING OUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS"
In this context, we expressed the demands in the public, and we insisted on sharing our observations, suggestions, and opinions. Our President also conveyed the message that he was aware of what was happening while expressing some difficulties he encountered in his congress speeches.
"OUR PRESIDENT IS THE ONE WHO TAKES THE RISK"
Ultimately, the congress process, which would respond to these expectations, has been completed as of today, new teams have been formed, and the MKYK and MYK that will take the AK Party to the elections have been shaped. A decision was made, and the change was finalized. In short, from this point on, the issue of 'change' is closed. The one who takes the risk makes the decision, and the one who takes the risk is our President. May it be beneficial and auspicious."
