The AK Party has faced internal pressure following a fund crisis. Deputy Interior Minister Bülent Turan called for the immediate resignation of those responsible for errors within the party to protect its integrity and avoid burdening President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Turan emphasized that political responsibility should be taken before the conclusion of legal or regulatory investigations.

AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman later addressed a specific fund controversy involving the Uşak Municipality, stating that the party would impose sanctions and sever ties with any individuals found to have violated public law. 

Concurrently, the CHP has dealt with internal organizational disputes. Spokesperson Müslim Sarı addressed the departure of certain officials in Uşak, distinguishing between those seeking political gain and those affected by recent debates. He also noted challenges in organizing party congresses due to disputes regarding leadership legitimacy.
