Following the defeat in the March 31 Local Elections, which saw the AKP fall to the position of the second-largest party nationwide for the first time in 22 years, there is great curiosity regarding how the winds of 'change' will blow.
Behind the scenes, it is claimed that AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has pressed the button to head into the party congress with radical changes.
ERDOĞAN TO 'REFORMAT'
According to a report by Yücel Kayaoğlu from the Türkiye newspaper, known for its proximity to the government, it is alleged that Erdoğan will 'reformat' the party administration and the bureaucracy.
AT LEAST 5 DEPUTY CHAIRMEN TO BE REPLACED
In this context, party sources stated that at least 5 deputy chairmen at the headquarters will be dismissed, and the congress process will be carried out with the names to be appointed in their place.
CHANGE IN THE CABINET AND THE PALACE AS WELL
On the other hand, it was stated that the change would not be limited to the party administration and that there could also be changes in the Cabinet and the Palace bureaucracy. It was noted that the number of presidential policy boards and chief advisors would be reduced, and that there would be changes in the structure of the policy boards.
