Fatih Altaylı's IYI Party commentary that will anger Meral Akşener! 'Don't tire yourselves out in vain...'

The IYI Party, which decided to enter the local elections 'free and independent', fell to the position of the sixth party nationwide after receiving 3.77 percent of the vote on March 31.

While the IYI Party won only a single city, news of resignations from the party followed one after another. Following the resignations, IYI Party leader Meral Akşener announced that they would go to an extraordinary congress.

Evaluating the IYI Party's decision to hold a congress, journalist Fatih Altaylı commented, "Writing about the IYI Party is a waste of paper."

Altaylı used the following expressions in the article he penned on his own website:

"Ms. Meral has succeeded. The party's suicide attempt has been successful. The party, which reached 19 percent last March, is currently at 3 percent, and it owes even this to the local performance of the right candidates in a few places. It was able to receive 0.6 percent of the vote in Istanbul, 0.9 percent in Ankara, and 3.6 percent in Izmir, where it fielded its most ambitious candidate. I know that even many party executives did not vote for their own candidates in Ankara and Istanbul. Now this party is heading to a congress. There are debates about whether or not Akşener will be a candidate. Don't tire yourselves out in vain. It makes no difference whether she is or isn't! The IYI Party, which was born as a great hope, no longer exists.

It does not matter who is at the head of something that no longer exists. Rest assured, if I were writing in a newspaper printed on paper, I would not even write this article. From this point on, any sentences written about the IYI Party are just a waste of paper."
