AKP's Ahmet Sungur, who was elected Mayor of Yahşihan in the local elections held last year, stated in an announcement in August 2024 that there was a debt of 1 billion 170 million liras remaining from the Osman Türkyılmaz era. Sungur claimed that all of the municipality's lands were under lien and that half of the debt was due to "fake invoices." Detailed investigations within the scope of the inquiry are continuing.
