Name close to Kılıçdaroğlu set to join AKP! Reportedly asked for forgiveness

Rumors that Mersin MP Hasan Ufuk Çakır, who resigned from the Republican People's Party (CHP) last month, will join the Justice and Development Party (AKP) have sparked debate in political circles.

Following this development, new details regarding Çakır's transition between parties have emerged.

According to claims reflected in the public sphere, it is alleged that before joining the AKP, Hasan Ufuk Çakır called former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who brought him into politics, to ask for his blessing.

The subject was brought to the agenda on TGRT, a channel close to the government, and the following statements were made while reporting the details:

'I called him and invited him to my broadcast. He said, "Let me join the AK Party, then I will join TGRT Haber." He called Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. He asked for his blessing, saying, "Mr. Kemal, you brought me into politics, but I am joining the AK Party, please grant me your blessing." Kılıçdaroğlu thanked him, saying, "I grant you my blessing; you are a very good brother and friend to me. Friends whom I made MPs for 4-5 terms did not leave anything undone to me. You are showing your loyalty even on the last day." This jab by Kılıçdaroğlu is also very meaningful,' he said.
