Claims that Nevşehir Mayor Rasim Arı, who was elected from the IYI Party, could return to the AKP have begun to circulate in political circles. Following the claims regarding CHP Aydın Metropolitan Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu, it has been alleged that IYI Party's Nevşehir Mayor Rasim Arı could also switch to the AKP.
Arı, who previously served as the AKP's mayor of Nevşehir, resigned from his party in 2022 and joined the IYI Party. Elected as the mayor of Nevşehir from the IYI Party in the 2024 elections, Arı is now on the agenda with the possibility of returning to the AKP, amid changes and developments within his party.
PRAISE FOR AKIN GÜRLEK BECAME A TALKING POINT
Recently, Arı, who also praised his fellow townsman Akın Gürlek, who was appointed as Minister of Justice, also fell out with IYI Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu. This situation has strengthened claims that Arı is experiencing difficulties within his party and is preparing the ground for a return to the AKP.
