MHP Deputy Chairman Semih Yalçın emphasized in his statement that this decision was implemented in accordance with the 52nd and 54th articles of the party bylaws. In his statement, Yalçın said, "Mekki Varol has been appointed as the MHP Kırıkkale Provincial Chair, Orhan Korkmaz as the Zonguldak Provincial Chair, and Enes Emengen as the Kocaeli Provincial Chair."
