In Fenerbahçe, which continues its pursuit of the top spot in the Süper Lig and has advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League, eyes are also turning toward the elective ordinary congress at the end of the season.
Following current president Ali Koç's announcement that he would not be a candidate, Sadettin Saran announced his candidacy, stating, "We are setting out to make Fenerbahçe champions."
It was alleged that a group of congress members, who believe that the rivalry between Ali Koç and Aziz Yıldırım is harming Fenerbahçe, had offered a candidacy to former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu.
According to a report by Odatv; Süleyman Soylu denied the allegations, saying, "This speculation regarding my name was the only thing missing. Great communities are not to be joked about."
EYES TURN TO AZİZ YILDIRIM AFTER SARAN'S CANDIDACY
On the other hand, following Sadettin Saran's announcement of his candidacy, eyes have turned to former president Aziz Yıldırım. Abdullah Kiğılı, one of the former executives of Fenerbahçe, had stated that Aziz Yıldırım would enter the presidential race if Sadettin Saran were to be the sole candidate.
