Following the switch of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu to the AKP, claims have emerged that some other CHP figures might take a similar step. Afyonkarahisar Mayor Burcu Köksal, one of the figures targeted by these claims, issued a harsh statement against these rumors. Emphasizing her determination, Köksal said, "If there is no room left to engage in politics within the party, I will still create a new space within this party. In the past, I was kicked out the door and came back through the chimney; if necessary, I will come back through the chimney again."
Addressing the claims circulating on social media, Köksal stated, "I see some trolls writing that I will engage in politics in another party. I am addressing them: You are only worth the fee you receive. Success is not a coincidence; I have reached this point by working throughout my life."
Furthermore, noting that she was threatened with her child's life during her time as a member of parliament, Köksal said, "Those who cannot derive benefits from the municipality are now attacking with troll teams. I am a child of the Republican People's Party founded by Atatürk, and my loyalty to this party is unshakable."
