At the AKP's Kızılcahamam camp, the election campaign of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu was brought up as a factor in the party's election loss. Meanwhile, conflicting statements by Murat Kurum and Abdulkadir Uraloğlu regarding the Kanal İstanbul project also drew criticism.

The election campaign of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is currently facing legal proceedings, left its mark on the AKP camp held in Kızılcahamam last weekend. AKP Head of Promotion and Media Faruk Acar drew attention to the success of the campaign run by İmamoğlu, stating that the slogan "Everything Will Be Very Beautiful" determined the election result.
COMMUNICATION CRITICISM FOR MINISTERS
According to the report by Veli Toprak from Sözcü, Acar also directed criticism toward cabinet members during the camp. He stated that the contradiction between Minister of Environment and Urbanization Murat Kurum's statement that "We will not build Kanal İstanbul" and Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu's statement that "We will build Kanal İstanbul" was a communication error, emphasizing that ministers need to be more careful.
"THERE CANNOT BE SUCH A COMMUNICATION ERROR"
Acar noted the following:
"Our Minister of Environment and Urbanization Murat Kurum makes a statement saying 'We will not build Kanal İstanbul.' Meanwhile, our Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu says 'We will build Kanal İstanbul.' There cannot be such a communication error; our ministers must be more careful in their communications."
Meeting with journalists, Acar requested sensitivity regarding the news to be written. He also humorously recounted a dialogue he had with Communications Director Fahrettin Altun, who was removed from his post, saying, "When I asked Fahrettin Bey what he does when negative news is written, he said, 'We cancel their accreditations.'"
"THE GREATEST ROMANI IS ERDOĞAN"
Cemal Bekle, a member of the Central Decision and Administrative Board (MKYK) of Romani descent, praised the work done for the Romani people during the AK Party governments and used the phrase, "The greatest Romani is Erdoğan." It was learned that President Erdoğan responded to this compliment by saying, "I will not forget this compliment, Cemal."
