He had targeted her at the congress: Akşener's 'dagger' response to Kılıçdaroğlu

CHP Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu took aim at İYİ Party leader Meral Akşener without naming her during his party's 38th Ordinary Congress.

In his speech, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu stated, "When it came to the presidential candidacy, there were moments of leaving and returning to the table. I had to enter the election with daggers in my back."

Kılıçdaroğlu's reference to Akşener became a major topic of discussion. Following Kılıçdaroğlu's remarks targeting her, Akşener shared a post on her social media account.

Akşener included the following statements in her post:

"We are the İYİ Party!

We are taking on the sacred duty entrusted to us by our Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who said, 'You are the ones who will elevate the Republic!', in order to establish the new order of politics!

We are free, we are right, and we stand on the side of justice!"

Biz, İYİ Partiliyiz!

Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürkümüzün; "Cumhuriyeti yükseltecek olan sizlersiniz!” diyerek verdiği kutlu görevi, siyasetin yeni düzenini kurmak için üzerimize alıyoruz!
