New assignment for Tuğçe Orhan, known as the 'Barbie District Governor', has been announced

Tuğçe Orhan, who began serving as the acting district governor of the Ladik district of Samsun last October, quickly drew the attention of social media and became a nationwide topic of discussion. Due to her resemblance to the popular toy character "Barbie," the public dubbed her the "Barbie District Governor."

Within the scope of the latest appointment decisions published by the Presidency, it was decided that Tuğçe Orhan would be appointed as the permanent District Governor of Ladik. Thus, she will continue the duties she previously carried out as acting district governor on a permanent basis.

Orhan, who became a subject of discussion in both social media and some news outlets due to her appearance, also received comments from politicians. AKP Kayseri Deputy Ayşe Böhürler stated regarding the controversy, "If a male district governor makes the news with his success, a female district governor should also be reported on for her success. Not by beauty criteria. It is an extremely discriminatory language."
