A political change has occurred in Gaziantep's Şehitkamil Municipality. Umut Yılmaz has resigned from CHP and joined AKP, sparking significant debate in local politics.

Yılmaz's transition resulted in the dismissal of CHP council member Zehra Eltan. Eltan described this as illegal and stated her intention to pursue legal action.

After joining AKP, Umut Yılmaz was warmly welcomed in Gaziantep. He emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration within the AK Party.

CHP council members protested Yılmaz's decision by staging a sit-in. This has created a significant conflict in the political arena.

Yılmaz's transition to AKP has intensified reactions from CHP. Former CHP council members view this as an attack on the will of the people.

Political transitions are common in local governance in Turkey. However, Yılmaz's case raises questions about the ethical implications of such changes.
