MHP has removed Sorgun Mayor Mustafa Erkut Ekinci from its list of mayors. This decision was announced by MHP Deputy Chairman Sadir Durmaz.

Durmaz stated that the decision was made due to Ekinci's behavior that does not align with the party's principles and policies. Ekinci announced his resignation on social media, citing unfortunate recent events.

Ekinci said, "I resign from my MHP membership to prevent the recent unfortunate events from harming my party."

Sorgun Mayor Mustafa Erkut Ekinci was elected as mayor from MHP in the 2019 local elections and was re-elected in 2024.

These developments raise questions about the dynamics within MHP and its influence in local governance. The implications of such resignations for the party's future are being closely watched.
