Metin Külünk claims 'There are Ekrem İmamoğlu supporters within the AK Party'! 'Some have fled abroad...'

27th Term AKP Deputy Metin Külünk was a guest on the Siyaset Masası program hosted by Nuray Başaran on TYT Türk.

Külünk made a striking claim during the program. When asked by Nuray Başaran, "Are there Ekrem İmamoğlu supporters within the AK Party?", Külünk responded as follows:

"Of course there are... I respect the leader's way of managing leadership. But my duty is not to leave the leader alone in his struggle in this regard. Wherever we are. We see this, the street sees it. This team gets wind of investigations before they happen. When they get the news, they panic. Some have fled abroad..."
