"Today, we held a congress that we will remember with pride for the political morality, sagacity, and understanding of democracy of the movement of the good and the brave. I am grateful to every member of our İYİ Party family who deemed me worthy of the chairmanship at our 5th Extraordinary Congress... I heartfully thank my fellow party members, Mr. Koray Aydın and Mr. Mehmet Tolga Akalın, with whom we conducted the congress process in a spirit of brotherhood for the strong future of our party.
