Aydın Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu’s resignation from the CHP and joining the ranks of the AKP continues to maintain its place on the political agenda.
Citizens in Aydın also reacted to Çerçioğlu joining the AKP, which she had previously criticized with harsh words.
On the CHP side, while comments are being made that “a rematch will be taken in the first election,” the AKP’s plan for Çerçioğlu has emerged.
According to the report by Sözcü, the AKP is considering nominating Özlem Çerçioğlu from İzmir in the next local elections.
On the CHP front, a different strategy is on the agenda. The party leadership aims to break Çerçioğlu’s influence in Aegean politics by winning back İzmir.
In the 2024 local elections, Çerçioğlu had requested the candidacy for İzmir. CHP leader Özgür Özel, however, had designated Karşıyaka Mayor Cemil Tugay as the İzmir candidate.
