Allegation that Ümit Dikbayır offered money for İYİ Party to appear high in polls

Former Eurasia Research President Kemal Özkiraz made a critical allegation regarding the İYİ Party on Tele 1 TV. Özkiraz announced that Ümit Dikbayır had offered him money for the İYİ Party to appear high in polls.

"ÜMİT DİKBAYIR OFFERED ME MONEY WITH MERAL AKŞENER'S GREETINGS"

Responding to Ülkü Çoban's question, "By bringing up the issue of money, isn't Ümit Dikbayır putting himself in danger if he is not clean on that matter?", Özkiraz stated the following:

"They were likely all taken by hand; none of them were official. A moment ago, Ahmet Özer mentioned money given to polling companies by hand. Yes, the İYİ Party made such an offer to me. And it was Ümit Dikbayır who made it, with Meral Akşener's greetings. I did not accept this at the time. I even chose to reject it via a 'WhatsApp' message. I rejected it so that if they didn't like the results in my polls tomorrow, they wouldn't be able to say that Kemal Özkiraz asked us for money."

"HE WANTED ME TO SHOW THEM AS THE MAIN OPPOSITION IN THE POLLS"

In Sakarya, Dikbayır invited me to dinner. He told me that a very high monthly payment would be made to me and asked for the İYİ Party to be shown as high in the polls, and even to be shown as the main opposition party after July."
