While the dissolution of numerous provincial and district organizations in the MHP, particularly in Istanbul, continues to maintain its place on the political agenda, it has been suggested that the AKP has also initiated a similar process.
In addition to the dismissals, it was claimed that another strategy of the AKP is to transfer its former cadres from the New Way Group.
Nefes columnist Nuray Babacan wrote in her article titled “The search for an alternative in the AKP” that numerous district organizations in the AKP have been dismissed and that provincial organizations are next in line.
The relevant part of Babacan's article is as follows:
"As the election calendar narrows, surprise topics are being brought up in the ruling party, which is trying every way to emerge with an advantage. Everyone knows about the CHP operations, unfair arrests, and relationships built on benefit with the Kurds. But lately, topics such as 'winning back former politicians who have moved away from the party' and 'cleaning up the base' have returned to the agenda.
The perception operation that some are conducting, especially through DEVA Party cadres in order to refresh their image, has no karşılık anywhere yet. It is certain that they are trying to portray the party as the 'address for integration' and are hoping for help from this.
Another topic recently discussed in the corridors is the mobility of change in party organizations. A similar organizational change to the one that started in the People's Alliance's junior partner, the MHP, with its own internal reckoning, is also being experienced in the AKP. However, the Organization Presidency prefers to do this quietly.
As mentioned by the Organization President in his presentation to the MKYK, there is talk of a 'renewal' movement that started with district organizations and will continue with provincial organizations. While it is stated that numerous district organizations have been dismissed and that provinces are next in line, there is also a claim that the working method will be changed."
