Turkish political leadership and party shifts

Overview

Political changes have been reported across several Turkish provinces involving municipal administration and party organization. In Uşak, the Yeni Parti criticized Deputy Mayor Hatice Terekeci Özkan for administrative decisions that led to the resignation of three municipal council members. Concurrently, in Van, the AK Parti overhauled its provincial executive board, appointing Abdurrahman Eren as Head of Organization to strengthen ties with the business community.
