AKP candidate forgets microphone is on, insult heard throughout the area

AKP mayoral candidate for the Kadışehri district of Yozgat, Şabettin Aksoy, and Yozgat MP Abdulkadir Akgül held a rally.

Aksoy said, "We will not slander anyone for votes, we will not insult anyone." Just a few minutes after these words, he caused a scene that left its mark on the rally after forgetting his microphone was on.

Forgetting his microphone was on, Aksoy said, "They say they will switch to the AK Party if they win the election, the cuckolds." It is alleged that he directed these words at the New Welfare Party (Yeniden Refah Partisi) candidate.

AKP candidate Şabettin Aksoy leaned toward MP Akgül and used the phrase, "They say they will switch to the AK Party if they win the election, the cuckolds." Those words were heard both throughout the entire area and on the live broadcast.

REACTION FROM THE NEW WELFARE PARTY

It is alleged that Şabettin Aksoy directed those words at the New Welfare Party candidate. Burhan Yıldırım, the New Welfare Party's Manisa Provincial Representative, reacted to Aksoy on his social media account.

Stating that he insulted the YRP candidate, Yıldırım made the following post:

"Referring to our New Welfare Party candidate, he says 'cuckolds' who will switch to the AKP if they win. A candidate who switches to the AKP or another party after being elected from our party is not just a cuckold, but the lowest of creatures, but you are even lower and more devoid of honor than that, as you do not hesitate to threaten people with the government power you hold. When we win those municipalities, with God's permission, we will carry out all those promised services and we will put an end to your reign. You cannibals, you."
