Meral Akşener targets Ekrem İmamoğlu and Mansur Yavaş: Both were afraid and did not accept the nation's will

İYİ Party, which decided to enter the local elections 'free and independent' by rejecting the CHP's cooperation offer, has faced a series of resignations.

In addition to the resignations, those within the party who advocated for cooperation have also been removed from their posts.

AKŞENER BREAKS HER SILENCE

İYİ Party Chair Meral Akşener has broken her silence following the recent developments within her party.

Akşener stated, "It has emerged that there is a corporate operation against our party. This means interfering in the internal affairs of a political party. As of now, I consider this a declaration of war. I am ready, let them come. I am well-trained for this."

Speaking during her visit to her party's Uşak Provincial Headquarters, Akşener criticized the negotiations conducted with the CHP by İbrahim Özkan, the Deputy Chair of the İBB Assembly Group who resigned from the İYİ Party.

"I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE, HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?"

Akşener said the following:

"I have no knowledge, the organization chair and the local governments chair have no knowledge; based on what was this done? There is another question. For the first time—although I don't really believe in such conspiracy matters—it emerged yesterday that there is a corporate operation against our party. This is the most interesting part. Because I am not aware of the diplomacy conducted by our friend, but I have the ability to speak with the people with whom this diplomacy was conducted. How is this happening? The Chair has no knowledge, a municipal council member is conducting diplomacy on behalf of the party..."

"THEY WERE GOING TO BE CANDIDATES FROM THE CHP"

"They have divided up Ankara; I don't know about Istanbul, down to the names. For example, our former Ankara Provincial Chair and GİK member Yetkin Öztürk was going to come to Polatlı. But they were going to be candidates from the CHP... That is how I understood it from the conversation. Even more interestingly, Yakup Odabaşı was going to come to Gölbaşı. I have no knowledge of any of it."

"WE EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE DYP"

"Do you know what this means? It means interfering in the internal affairs of a political party. We experienced this in 1997 in the True Path Party (DYP). I am well-trained in this matter. As of now, I consider this a declaration of war. I am ready, let them come..."

SHE TARGETED İMAMOĞLU AND YAVAŞ

Addressing citizens after the press conference at the provincial headquarters, Akşener targeted İBB Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and ABB Mayor Mansur Yavaş.

Akşener said, "I had an epiphany yesterday; Mr. Erdoğan knows. İmamoğlu will learn too. I was there when Mr. Erdoğan was going to prison. I was the one who took care of his children. I was there when the police point in front of his house was removed. But I was the one who heard the harshest insults."

Meral Akşener continued as follows:

"Similarly, I went to Saraçhane for the second time. Those who curse today took things as far as my late mother back then. But I didn't open my mouth until they won. I took them to that table, I was kicked out of the table. But both of them (Ekrem İmamoğlu and Mansur Yavaş) were afraid and did not accept the nation's will."
