The resignations continue in the İYİ Party. Most recently, İYİ Party Konya Deputy Ünal Karaman announced that he has resigned from the party. Karaman announced his departure from his position through a statement on his official X account.

In his statement, Ünal Karaman used the following expressions:

To the esteemed Turkish Nation; Throughout my life, I have considered serving my nation with the understanding that "there are no rights, there are duties" as the most sacred duty.

I carry the Turkish flag, which I pinned to my chest at a very young age, with the same spirit and pride as I did in my sports career, even in my parliamentary role. Because I have always acted solely with a sense of service and duty.

The love, support, and prayers of my dear ones, which I have always felt by my side, have been my greatest source of strength on this challenging path. Their love, favor, and trust have always reinforced my goal of protecting the noble interests of the Turkish nation.

With the awareness of this sacred responsibility, as a result of my evaluations, I have decided to resign from my membership in the İYİ Party. This decision is a necessity of my will to serve my nation better.

Those loyal hearts who believe in me know very well that I will never betray their trust. Just as I did yesterday, I will consider their faith as my own tomorrow;

By remaining loyal to the command of our ancestor, I will continue to work with all my strength to preserve and defend Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic.
