As the AKP prepares for its 8th Ordinary Grand Congress to be held at the Ankara Sports Hall on February 23, claims regarding changes in party management and the cabinet are gaining strength in the corridors.
According to a report by Cumhuriyet, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to make a radical change in party management following the congress.
Following the changes made in provincial and district congresses, a renewal of over 50 percent is also anticipated in the AKP Central Executive Board (MYK) and the Central Decision and Administrative Board (MKYK).
SIGNAL OF CHANGE IN THE CABINET
It is claimed that significant changes will also take place in the cabinet after the congress. There is talk in the corridors that at least five ministers will be removed from their posts.
The names expected to request to be relieved of their duties or to be replaced include the following:
Minister of Health Kemal Memişoğlu
Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar
Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu
ERDOĞAN'S RENEWAL STRATEGY
It is stated that President Erdoğan is planning a serious renewal within the party to eliminate what he describes as "metal fatigue." Party sources emphasize that Erdoğan wants to continue his path with dynamic and young names who have not exhausted their energy.
A NEW ROLE FOR KÜRŞAD ZORLU?
On the other hand, it is claimed that Ankara Deputy Kürşad Zorlu, who resigned from the İYİ Party and joined the AKP, could take on a role in the new cabinet.
