Şamil Tayyar Warns AKP on Economy: Voter Support Is Not Guaranteed

Former AKP Deputy Şamil Tayyar made striking warnings to his party during a live broadcast. He stated that the disputes within the CHP do not provide the AKP with the expected advantage and emphasized that the main concern of voters is the economy. Tayyar stressed that the people's votes should not be taken for granted, saying, "This nation has kept us in power since 2002.

If you mock the intelligence that has kept you in power for 24 years, it will also bring you down." He addressed his party with these words. Tayyar also made a notable comment about CHP Leader Özgür Özel's widely discussed crowd in Tokat. He said, "Let the CHP split into 40 pieces. Let 40 separate parties be formed. Let each have its own leader.

If you don't fix this economy, you honestly won't win the next election." Speaking on TRT about developments related to Kilis Mayor Hakan Bilecen, who resigned from the CHP, Tayyar made significant remarks. He suggested that Bilecen might join the AKP and issued strong warnings to his party. Tayyar said, "It looks like the AK Party will probably take the Kilis Mayor.

I have seen the influence of important intermediaries." Tayyar stated that such a development would be inexplicable for the AKP, saying, "You will take in a person expected to be targeted by an operation into the AK Party, and no operation will happen. You cannot explain this." ADDRESSING ERDOĞAN Tayyar also mentioned that there are figures within the AKP organization supporting Bilecen's joining the party.

He said he addressed this message to President and AKP Leader Erdoğan, stating, "This message is for the President. I say this to disrupt the games of those in between. No one should take offense, my brother." Tayyar argued that if Bilecen joins the AKP, the party will become a subject of public debate: A HIGHLY DISCUSSED CONFESSION ABOUT ÖZGÜR ÖZEL AND CHP In the Butlan debate, Tayyar noted that CHP Leader Özgür Özel received significant support from CHP members and said that even if the CHP splits into 40 parts, the AKP is likely to lose at this rate: "WHEN THE PEOPLE MOCK YOU, THEY BRING YOU DOWN" Tayyar warned that voter support should not be seen as guaranteed and gave a final warning to the AKP. He concluded his remarks as follows: "Believe in and trust this nation. This nation has kept us in power since 2002. If you mock the intelligence that has kept you in power for 24 years, it will also bring you down. No one should take offense. No one's vote is guaranteed in their pocket. It is not a sure thing. You cannot joke with the people.

We have seen in the past what happens to those who try to joke around."
