Allegations that Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay will switch to the AK Party are on the agenda again. According to the information provided by CNN Türk Reporter Melike Görür Demirkıran, following the developments in recent days, all eyes turned to the AK Party's group meeting to be held on Wednesday, October 7.
Cemil Tugay resigned from CHP on June 18 and announced that he would continue his duty as the Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality independently. After his resignation, Tugay did not join the newly established party and maintained his independence.
According to the information provided by CNN Türk Reporter Melike Görür Demirkıran, all eyes are now on the AK Party group meeting to be held on Wednesday, October 7. The claim that President Erdoğan will put an AK Party badge on Cemil Tugay at the group meeting is being talked about behind the scenes.
CNN Türk Reporter Melike Görür Demirkıran explained the details;
"The claims that Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay will switch to the AK Party are starting to get stronger day by day. These claims have become even stronger, especially after he visited President Erdoğan in the Social Complex recently. Of course, there is a new development every day. In this context, all eyes are on October 7. President Erdoğan is expected to pin a badge on Cemil Tugay at the AK Party group meeting. In other words, these claims have become stronger.
First of all, if we remember, Cemil Tugay resigned from CHP on June 18. Following the absolute nullity decision, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu resigned by criticizing his administration. He said he left with the hope of returning one day. He stated that he will carry out his duty as Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor independently. In fact, the New Party was established, but Cemil Tugay did not join the New Party. It has remained independent for a long time. Especially when these allegations started to be voiced more during the summer period, Cemil Tugay denied it. However, Cemil Tugay came to Ankara recently. First, he met with the Minister of Transport, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu. Afterwards, President Erdoğan received Cemil Tugay. While these allegations were getting stronger after the meeting in the Social Complex, Cemil Tugay resigned from the Ataturkist Thought Association. That resignation was also quite remarkable.
HIS RESPONSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA DRAW ATTENTION
Yesterday, Cemil Tugay gave remarkable answers on his social media account. He did not deny the allegations that he would switch to the AK Party. A follower asked him on social media, "Will you fire our working brothers when you switch to the AK Party?" He answered the question. "Nothing will happen to anyone who does their job." he said. Of course, the fact that he responded to the allegations that he would switch to the AK Party without denying it, "Does it confirm these allegations?" It brought the question to mind. However, he has not yet given any response and has not fully confirmed these claims.
EYES ON OCTOBER 7 FOR CEMİL TUGAY
For this reason, all eyes are on October 7. AK Party group meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 7. It is stated that President Erdoğan will pin a badge on Cemil Tugay at the AK Party group meeting on Wednesday. For this reason, while all eyes are on Wednesday, there is a new development every day. These claims are becoming stronger and more voiced. "All eyes are now turned to Wednesday to get the answer to whether Cemil Tugay will join the AK Party."
