Nazilli municipal engagement and Mayor's political shift

Overview

Nazilli Mayor Dr. Ertuğrul Tetik has implemented a series of community engagement initiatives throughout 2026. In early August, the Mayor conducted “public meetings” in the Arslanlı and Sailer neighborhoods to record resident concerns, noting that infrastructure projects were on schedule.

By late August, reports indicated these field operations had expanded, with Tetik engaging 13,480 citizens during the first eight months of the year to guide municipal service priorities.

On August 21, 2026, Tetik announced his resignation from the Republican People's Party (CHP) to serve as an independent mayor. During a press conference, Tetik stated the decision was intended to “maintain management stability” and focus on his responsibilities to the people of Nazilli, rather than being driven by personal gain. He addressed rumors regarding a potential move to the YENİ Party, noting he felt the need to “re-evaluate the political landscape” while maintaining respect for CHP values. Naim Atmaca, the CHP Nazilli District Chairman, suggested the resignation occurred because Tetik was “pushed to his limit” by political pressures and individuals within Aydın politics attempting to undermine him.

Following his resignation, Tetik met with municipal department managers to establish a roadmap for his term as an independent official. He emphasized a commitment to increasing productivity and building a stronger economic structure through efficient resource management. In response to his departure, the CHP Nazilli organization is expected to undergo a restructuring process to develop new cadres.
