Recently, the claims that Aydın Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu will switch to AKP have surfaced. This situation has led to speculation that some CHP mayors might also change their parties.

Bursa Mayor Mustafa Bozbey responded strongly to these claims, stating, "We are focused on our work. We are serving Bursa with all our strength." Bozbey emphasized that he does not take the unfounded allegations circulating on social media seriously.

Muğla Mayor Ahmet Aras also denied the allegations regarding his transition to AKP. He stressed that it is out of the question for him to transfer the votes he received from the public to another party.

Additionally, AKP Bursa Provincial Chairman Davut Gürkan filed a criminal complaint against Bozbey. Gürkan accused Bozbey of misusing his position and this has sparked discussions in the public.

These developments in the political arena have become an important topic of discussion regarding the future of local governments. The possibility of mayors changing their parties raises concerns among voters.
