NEW PARTY GROUP VICE CHAIRMAN MURAT EMİR
"They did what they knew best and descended on Üsküdar. They overlapped the prosecutor's office's detention calendar with the governorship's election calendar millimeter by millimeter, and by locking up those willing to vote, they first forcibly tied the score to 21-21, and then they influenced some of the rest with promises and threats. By activating all the coercive devices of the state, they did everything that befits the party state of AKP's dream. Of course, this judicial conspiracy and this scheme you set up will be played on your head."
NEW PARTY GROUP VICE CHAIRMAN GÖKHAN GÜNAYDIN
"THE MINARET STOLEN IN ÜSKÜDAR WITHOUT EVEN THE NEED TO BE DISCOVERED! In the local elections, AKP and MHP lost by 25 thousand points, and lost the election! 14 AKP and 3 MHP could elect a total of 17 council members. Let's have 29 council members against you. Then put the Conspiracy plan into action! Arrest Mayor Sinem..
Keep council member Bülent Kaygun in prison for 10 months, then suspend him from office. Arrest 2 council members, Ekrem Baki and Amine Cansu Çelik, and ensure that they cannot participate in the voting... Transfer 4 council members (Ahmet Başbaydar, Hüseyin Kazan, Ayhan Aydın and Tahsin Usta) to the AKP with a carrot and stick relationship. Store them in hotels by changing cities. So bring the count to 21-21. Don't be content with that, detain a council member's partner at midnight, say "my daughter-in-law, I'm telling you, girl, you understand"... Take part in the elections in this environment...
Let it be revealed that you "persuaded" 2 more members in this election... There is undoubtedly a lot to be said for those who are in the market and have a financial price. However, the main thing is to expose the open conspiracy and its owners and to make the owners of this shamelessness regret what they did. Greetings to the people of Üsküdar who stand with their honor and the will of the nation... Greetings to those who did not sell their honor in the 16 square meter well type prison. The will of the nation stolen today will definitely be restored!”
NEW PARTY ISTANBUL MP GÖKAN ZEYBEK
"This government has committed another historical shame in Üsküdar. The AK Party took over Üsküdar, which it had lost by a long shot, by fraud! Let them embrace such a "national will"...
Arrest the members of parliament who will vote. Transfer four people by pressure, threats, blackmail and various offers. If that is not enough, cripple the national will by taking some of them to your side in exchange for benefits. Then come and choose today. If anyone asks, "We believe in democracy." say!
How will you face this nation? With what face will you go to his door tomorrow and ask for votes? Don't forget this day, and neither will we. You will not be able to escape the conscience of our people or the great lesson they will teach at the ballot box!”
NEW PARTY AYDIN MP SÜLEYMAN BÜLBÜL
"The Üsküdar Deputy Mayor Election was usurped by the AKP with the Cooperation of the Judiciary and Politics! They suspended Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş from office after arresting her in an unfair and unlawful investigation. Sibel Tan Çetinkaya won the Deputy Mayor election. Since the AKP could not win the election, they had the election annulled by the instructed judiciary. On top of all this, they intimidated the council members with pressure and threats, with the cooperation of the judiciary.
I drew attention to irregularities before the election; In the voting held on August 5, the ballot papers were shown one by one and counted, and despite all the pressure and threats, the AKP's candidate could not win the election. This election was unlawfully annulled. Before the election, four council members resigned and were transferred to the AKP. 3 of our council members were detained in this process. 2 council members were arrested. Istanbul Governorship determined the election date to coincide with the detention period.
In today's election; Parliament members were pressured and threatened, and AKP's votes increased one by one in each round. And finally they usurped the election by fraud. They ignored the will of the people of Üsküdar with an unprecedented election fraud! AKP illegally captured Üsküdar, which it lost after 30 years, with these tricks. Shame on you!”
