COULD NOT BECOME A CANDIDATE FROM THE AKP, RETURNED TO GOVERNORSHIP
Although a criminal complaint was filed against former Hatay Governor Rahmi Doğan on the grounds that he did not fulfill his responsibilities during the February 6 earthquakes, this complaint was not processed by the Supreme Court of Appeals Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. The appointment of Doğan to the Sakarya Governorship on the same night drew attention and sparked controversy in the public eye.
