KALECİK MAYOR ALSO RESIGNED
Kalecik Mayor Satulmuş Karakoç said, "Politics is a long journey where commitment to people and values is tested. In this journey, it is necessary to make important decisions from time to time and stand behind the truths you believe in.
Since the first day we took office, we have considered it our duty to serve our fellow citizens in Kalecik without segregating or alienating anyone due to their political views. Because we saw the votes given to us not only as political support, but as a trust given to us on behalf of Kalecik.
In line with the process we have been through and the developments, I have decided to resign from my membership in the Republican People's Party and continue my duty as Mayor independently.
I would like to wholeheartedly thank all my companions, with whom we have walked under the same roof so far, who have contributed to this struggle and stood by us. The good days we spent together, the effort given and the bonds of love established will always have a special place for me.
The same understanding was at the basis of the path we took with our President Mansur Yavaş: Embracing people not for their political identities, but because they are human beings; To serve without discrimination, with justice and by protecting the trust of the people.
Today, I will continue to walk alongside our President Mansur on this path we have embarked on with him.
Authorities may change, political conditions may change. However, our responsibility to Kalecik will not change.
From now on, just like yesterday; I will continue to work as the Mayor of our fellow citizens from all walks of life, whether they voted or not.
Because the real issue for us is not a political identity, but the love we feel for Kalecik and the trust our fellow citizens have entrusted to us," he said.
GÜDÜL MAYOR DOĞANAY: SERVICE TO OUR PEOPLE IS THE BASIS, NOT OFFICIALS

This is my decision; It is not aimed at the deep-rooted history of the Republican People's Party, Ataturk's principles and revolutions, or our Republican values. On the contrary, it is a requirement of my commitment to these values and my responsibility regarding my political stance.
In the future, I will continue to walk the road together with our Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Mr. Mansur Yavaş, and serve our citizens. My duty as Mayor of Güdül; I will continue to do so with the responsibility of serving our fellow citizens and with devotion to the values of our district and our Republic.
