AKP Chairman Announced Intra-Party Discussions and New Party Developments

Quick Look

While the AKP Chairman emphasized their loyalty and struggle against the members in response to internal party criticism, he evaluated the results of the Ankara district presidential elections and the impact of the grassroots movement in the New Party.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

AKP Chairman responded to the criticism within the party and the developments in the New Party and reminded the members of their loyalty and struggle to the party.

Font size

No; The AKP deputy chairman and his esteemed spouses invested millions in the stock market wherever they could find it, and received billions in return.

No; The lady who earned billions in the fund did not even pay her scholarship debt to the municipality.

No; Poverty has bottomed out and unemployment has increased.

No; There was no life safety for students and teachers.

No; Prisons are filled with dissidents.

No; Municipalities were being crushed by transfers against the will of the people.

No; The ruling circles were trying to reconcile the mafiosi.

Don't touch the AKP dear, this is not possible!

Because they work day and night. Well, they continue their journey on foot, regardless of mountains or stones. They defend the rights, law and honor of the poor and the poor who were crushed between the gears of the old system. They protect the rights of the poor and the poor, and they engage in politics for this purpose.

Some people felt dizzy, some fell into the trap of arrogance. Some people put their personal cause before the cause of the nation and the ummah. Some people lost their way. Some people became slaves of their souls. The devil deceived some people. Some people specifically infiltrated and were infiltrated to pollute this holy movement, this sacred movement, this pure movement. They held them to account. They said goodbye to those who made a mistake and succumbed to their desires, and continued on their way stronger.

They wage the difficult struggle for which they devoted their lives for the oppressed and the victims.

We do not say these.

Believe me, the AKP leader says it word for word. (See: AKP extended provincial heads meeting, 29 September 2026)

Don't believe it if you want. Don't believe it and see what happens...

RISING GRASS MOVEMENT IN NEW PARTY

It is obvious what the situation of the mayors and municipal council members, who are appointed by a single person or a few people at the center, is.

To those who left the CHP or the NEW Party and switched to the AKP for the sake of self-interest.

Especially those who cling to the NEW Party with great hope and become members are aware of what is happening and seem determined to implement Özgür Özel's promise that from now on, the decision and authority will be with the members.

The ballot boxes opened in NEW Party Ankara districts last weekend were a concrete indicator of this determination.

The results, which are likened to the wave of excitement experienced by the Ecevit CHP in the 1970s, largely based on young members, and the democratic mechanism in the internal party elections, seem to have dealt a great blow to the hard-boiled delegate masters in the NEW Party and the brokers who turned politics into professionalism.

With the democratic participatory will of the members in Ankara, 25 district heads were elected, including Ercan Başal in Çankaya, Özgür Şahbaz in Etimesgut, Şeref Demirbaş in Mamak, Halil Alankuş in Yenimahalle, Görkem Yıldırım in Keçiören, Gökan Urun in Altındağ, Hüseyin Benek in Pursaklar and Önder Ağdede in Sincan.

The elected presidents left the ballot box on the condition of reestablishing politics starting from the neighborhoods.

Now it is the turn of the Ankara provincial chairman. The previous term's deputy provincial chairman, Yüksel Işık, was not made provincial chairman by political professionals who wanted to dominate the party against his will.

Thereupon, approximately 20 people from the provincial administration decided not to participate in the new founding provincial presidency process.

In the formation process of the new provincial administration, there are two lawyer candidates who started working with the grassroots movement: Pınar Akgül Doğusoy and Murat Yıldız. Both were provincial vice presidents in the previous term.

The era of those who pretend to be big brothers in the party and carry out sinister activities seems to be coming to an end.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • More democratic election processes will be held in the NEW Party with the influence of the grassroots movement.

    Likely · Within months

  • Criticisms within the AKP may come to the fore with internal party regulations or leadership changes.

    Possible · Within weeks

Open Questions

  • What is the long-term impact of the grassroots movement in the NEW Party?
  • What impact will internal divisions in the AKP have on the future of the party?
  • How will the district presidential elections change the balance within the party?
