Marmaris Mayor Acar Ünlü has resigned from the Republican People's Party (CHP) to join the Yeni Parti. The transition was marked by a ceremony where Ünlü and 15 municipal council members received their new party badges from Yeni Parti Deputy Chair and Muğla MP Gizem Özcan.

He emphasized that his priority remains serving the people of Marmaris and expressed his intention to work with the central government and Muğla Metropolitan Municipality to address local issues.
