Turkish President Erdogan Set to Make Sweeping Changes in Party Leadership Following Election Upset
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may make significant changes in the organization and leadership of the ruling party, AKP, following his expulsion from local self-government bodies. This decision comes after Erdogan acknowledged that the party’s poor performance in the recent local elections was due to errors in candidate placement. In a meeting with AKP leaders, Erdogan emphasized the need for structural changes within the party and improved relations between members and leaders. According to a source close to the government, certain appointed officials and deputies are expected to experience changes. Failure to implement these changes promptly may lead to further complications.
