Minister Tunç corrects CHP Chair Özel on 'first party' claim: 'False propaganda'

Speaking at a meeting he attended, Tunç said, "When you look at the number of municipalities, the AK Party has won more than 600 municipalities. The CHP has won around 300.

The AK Party is also first in terms of the number of municipalities. Such a perception management campaign is being conducted that by portraying themselves as the first, they continue a policy built on such a perception and false propaganda.

The AK Party is indisputably the leading party in all elections; the sole reason our nation has made the AK Party the leading party in every election is that we listen to the voice of our nation while in power," he stated.

Speaking about the opposition's claims of an election victory, Tunç presented the figures and argued that the AKP was the leading party by a wide margin. Emphasizing the importance of organization, Tunç said the following:

"The AK Party has won all elections consecutively for 23 years. The AK Party is also the one that won the last local elections. We see that in some meetings, the chair of the main opposition party says we are the leading party of the last local election.

I hear this often in parliament as well. The leading party is the AK Party. When you look at the number of municipalities, the AK Party has won more than 600 municipalities. The CHP has won around 300. The AK Party is also first in terms of the number of municipalities. Such a perception management campaign is being conducted that by portraying themselves as the first, they continue a policy built on such a perception and false propaganda.

The AK Party is indisputably the leading party in all elections; the sole reason our nation has made the AK Party the leading party in every election is that we listen to the voice of our nation while in power. It is that we do whatever our nation wants. We thank our organization leadership very much for what we have done here today.

The strategic meeting is for this purpose. Our headquarters officials gather what our nation thinks from our district chairs at the furthest points, from our neighborhood chairs, from our ballot box chairs, from our village heads, and from civil society, and bring it here.

Our headquarters also conducts these studies through different channels, but at this point, we listen to the voice of our organization both in terms of identifying problems and proposing solutions to problems, because the organization listens to the voice of the nation. The reason the nation has not broken away from us for 23 years is that we listen to the nation while in power. It is that we are always by their side. And it will always be like this from now on."
