In the AKP, the provincial chairs of Muğla, Çanakkale, Adıyaman, Niğde, Tunceli, Bitlis, Elazığ, and Ordu resigned within three days last week. A statement from the ruling party front noted, "The fact that our work in the cities remained below the desired level following the congress has formed the main axis of the process regarding change."
The consecutive resignations of provincial chairs in the AKP in recent days have stirred the political agenda. According to a report in the pro-government Sabah newspaper, these changes are not limited to provincial organizations but are planned as part of a "comprehensive effort to increase the party's dynamism, from local administrations to general politics."
FIRST STEP: CHANGING OF THE GUARD
According to information leaked from party circles, the initial phase of the process will be the changes in provincial chair positions. In this context, it is planned to continue with new names in the provinces of Muğla, Çanakkale, Adıyaman, Niğde, Tunceli, Bitlis, Elazığ, and Ordu.
5-STAGE MODEL
It is stated that the AKP Organization Presidency is working on a 5-step method for the process of determining new chairs. Accordingly, candidate selection will be carried out through opinion polls, the views of non-governmental organizations, contact with political actors, consultations with business circles, and headquarters evaluations. The first stage, the opinion polls, will be initiated within this week.
THE FINAL WORD BELONGS TO ERDOĞAN
The report that will emerge after these stages will be presented to AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Three candidates from each province will be interviewed, and the final decision will be shaped by Erdoğan's approval.
CALENDAR OF THE PROCESS
According to expectations in political circles, the goal is to complete the process by the provincial chairs meeting to be held under the chairmanship of Erdoğan in the first week of October.
