AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements today at a rally organized by the AKP in Manisa's Cumhuriyet Square.
"WITH GOD'S PERMISSION, WE ARE SAVING OUR MANISA FROM THIS SO-CALLED OPPOSITION"
Forgetting that the Manisa Metropolitan Municipality is held by the MHP, Erdoğan used the phrase, "With God's permission, we are saving our Manisa from this so-called opposition," while standing next to MHP Manisa Metropolitan Mayor Cengiz Ergün.
Ergün was seen smiling while Erdoğan made these remarks.
MHP mayor was by his side!

MHP Mayor Cengiz Ergün is currently in office in Manisa. Furthermore, the CHP only holds 4 municipalities in Manisa: Akhisar, Alaşehir, Saruhanlı, and Turgutlu.
The AKP did not field a candidate in Manisa for the March 31, 2024, Local Elections and decided to support the MHP.
