21-year-old Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from Burdur joined the AK Party and received his badge from President Erdoğan. This event symbolizes youth participation in politics.

President Erdoğan also pinned badges on 10 mayors who joined the AK Party during his speech at the parliamentary group meeting. This is seen as an effort to respond to the expectations of the public in local governance.

Erdoğan stated, "As the AK Party, we are expanding our ranks in the service of our nation. We will continue to strengthen the teams that will best respond to the public's expectations in local governance."
