AK Party local governance and strategic planning

Overview

In late August 2026, the AK Party intensified its organizational and strategic efforts through nationwide outreach and regional consultations. A major nationwide field study was launched, scheduled to continue until mid-October, involving cabinet ministers and members of parliament visiting provinces to gather public feedback on the economy, justice, and foreign policy regarding the ‘Turkey Century’ and a ‘Terror-free Turkey.’ Findings are to be reported to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Regional activities continued with consultation meetings in Batman and Afşin. In Batman, Provincial Chairman Hüseyin Şansi and MP Ferhat Nasıroğlu met with party branches to evaluate field study feedback. In Afşin, officials discussed regional investments and post-earthquake recovery, noting an increase in party membership. Local governance and infrastructure oversight also remained a focus, with inspections of school construction and housing projects in Nurhak and Yenipazar.

In September 2026, the party expanded its localized strategic efforts to Istanbul. The AK Party Istanbul Promotion and Media Presidency launched a neighborhood-based communication study covering all 39 districts to strengthen the city’s communication infrastructure. The initiative aims to shape local strategies by addressing the unique dynamics of individual neighborhoods. The program commenced in Zeytinburnu, focusing on news production, social media, and local issue identification. Abdullah Arıdoru, AK Party Istanbul Deputy Chairman and Head of Promotion and Media, stated that the goal is to evaluate district communication activities and field opportunities, noting, “We will take an X-ray of the district’s communication.”
