Mansur Yavaş resigns from CHP to continue as independent FAST-MOVING
Mansur Yavaş, the Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, has announced his resignation from the Republican People's Party (CHP). In a statement shared on social media, Yavaş explained that his decision was not made out of anger or resentment but was the result of careful consideration and conscience.
Yavaş cited ongoing legal and political debates within the party, specifically referencing the March 19 process and discussions regarding “absolute nullity,” as factors that have brought Turkish politics to a concerning point. He emphasized that he has consistently expressed his views and objections throughout this period and remains steadfast in his positions.
Following his resignation, Yavaş stated that he intends to continue his political career as an independent. He confirmed that he will remain in his role as the Mayor of Ankara, viewing the position as a mandate from the citizens rather than a stepping stone for a political career. He pledged to continue serving all residents of Ankara with transparency and accountability, regardless of their political affiliations.
