Explosive claim about Meral Akşener from Fatih Portakal! 'It's finalized, hands have been shaken'

İYİ Party Ankara MP and former party spokesperson Kürşad Zorlu joined the AKP shortly after his resignation. While rumors were circulating in Ankara's political circles that İYİ Party Founding Leader Meral Akşener would become a Vice President, a similar claim came from journalist Fatih Portakal.

"IT SEEMS FINALIZED THAT AKŞENER WILL BECOME VICE PRESIDENT"

Sözcü TV Main News Anchor Portakal, while commenting on Zorlu joining the AKP by saying, "No matter who you are, your stance and views are important. Of course, you can exchange ideas. Ideas can change, but they shouldn't change 180 degrees like this," shared the inside information he had obtained regarding Akşener. Portakal stated, "It seems finalized that Akşener will become Vice President."

Portakal spoke as follows:

"Let me give you some inside information regarding former İYİ Party leader Meral Akşener. It seems finalized that Akşener will become Vice President. As you know, the AKP's grand congress is on February 23. In March, Meral Akşener will also be in the new cabinet as Vice President. We will hear her name."

"ÜNAL KARAMAN WILL ALSO JOIN THE AK PARTY"

"She already sent her associates first. In the coming days, Ünal Karaman will also join. Let me share that with you clearly as well. This is nothing but a lack of stance. It's a pity."

"IT'S FINALIZED. HANDS HAVE BEEN SHAKEN. LET'S SAY GOOD LUCK"

"Will Cevdet Yılmaz continue or not? I don't know if there will be a second Vice President. But it has been finalized that Meral Akşener will also become Vice President. Hands have been shaken. Let's say good luck."

"Let's see if Akşener will stand behind this promise of hers? I want to share that with you too. Regarding finding the killers of Sinan Ateş, she says: 'If I don't find the killers and the instigators, I am dishonorable. If I don't hold them accountable, I am dishonorable. Because it sets a precedent. Anyone who comes along will pull your mustache. If I allow this, I am a coward.'"

"She had said these words in past years."
