In the AKP, expectations for a change in party management have returned to the agenda following developments referred to as the fund crisis. It is being discussed in party corridors that President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan may go for a comprehensive revision in the Central Executive Board (MYK).
According to the report by Merve Kılıç from Cumhuriyet, it is stated that the potential change may not be limited to minor reshuffles; a search for renewal that could cover a significant portion of the management is on the table. Erdoğan's decision is awaited regarding which names will leave their posts and who will take part in the new management.
SEARCH FOR RENEWAL BEFORE THE ELECTION
It is stated that the desire to enter the election process with renewed staff lies in the background of the activity within the party. It is noted that options such as revisions in local organizations, cabinet changes, and an extraordinary congress are also evaluated from time to time as part of election preparations.
Criticisms regarding the field performance of the headquarters management and expectations that some deputy chairmen may be replaced are cited among the topics strengthening the renewal discussions within the party. In this context, the possibility of an extraordinary congress also stands out as one of the options discussed in the corridors.
It is reported that the discussions regarding the fund crisis are being evaluated not only through financial losses but also through the topics of audit responsibility and trust in institutions. Demands are being voiced in the corridors that responsibilities in the audit chain should be clarified and that the potential political or bureaucratic connections of fund managers should be investigated.
The final decision regarding the future of the MYK in the AKP, the potential congress calendar, and the scope of changes that could be made in party management is expected to be made by Erdoğan.
