Ahead of the upcoming elections at Fenerbahçe, presidential candidate Ali Koç spoke on a program he attended.
Stating that he would not work with Şekip Mosturoğlu if he is re-elected, Koç used the following expressions:
"We have elected a new High Council Board President. I regret to have to share this with you. The High Council Office of Fenerbahçe Sports Club is operating as an election office.
The High Council President of Fenerbahçe Sports Club is calling our members and asking for votes for Mr. Aziz Yıldırım.
He encountered someone who came to visit me and said, 'I hope President Aziz wins, and then you will join us.'
I do not accept this. I declare here that if I am elected, I will not work with Şekip Mosturoğlu."
A response to these words from Ali Koç came from Şekip Mosturoğlu. Mosturoğlu used the following expressions regarding the matter on his social media account:
"The High Council Board is the authorized and responsible body for conducting election affairs until the end of business hours tomorrow, in accordance with the Fenerbahçe club statutes. The election process has been conducted by our board in an objective, transparent, and fair manner to date.
Following the completion of the process tomorrow and the final decision regarding the finalization of the presidential candidates' lists, a statement will be made by us regarding the speculative statement made by presidential candidate Mr. Ali Yıldırım Koç about myself and the High Council Board. I respectfully submit this to the great Fenerbahçe public."
