In another post on his X account, Taşkaya said, "The nation's vote is not mortgaged to anyone or any party. For this reason, do not direct the accusations made against your party toward newly founded parties! Great injustices were done to @yusufhalacoglu during the IYI Party process. I wish for the party he founded to be auspicious for the Turkish Nation. May their path be clear."
