Paçacı provided a written response to the claims regarding his potential move to the MHP. 

Denying the allegations, İYİ Party member Mustafa Cihan Paçacı stated the following:

"In recent days, untrue reports have been circulated in certain media outlets and social media accounts claiming that 9 İYİ Party deputies, including myself, would join the MHP. A similar scenario was attempted during the period when the 'solution process' began, with a perception operation claiming that 15 İYİ Party deputies would 'join the MHP'. All of these reports consist solely of political engineering efforts managed from behind a desk." 

"WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR STRUGGLE"

The rise of the İYİ Party, its resonance in the field, its emergence as the hope of the nation, and the determined and national political stance put forward by our Chairman, Mr. Müsavat Dervişoğlu, are disturbing to certain circles. We are representatives of a political understanding that does not surrender Turkish nationalism to daily calculations. Those who try to achieve results through gossip politics directed at our party will not be successful, just as they have not been until now.

The İYİ Party stands tall, and we will continue to maintain our determined struggle together with our Chairman to the end."

WHAT HAPPENED?

Journalist Sinan Burhan, who is close to the AKP, had claimed that 9 deputies from the İYİ Party would join the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Speaking on tv100, Burhan based his statement on a source, saying, "I trust my source. 9 İYİ Party deputies will join the MHP."
