Before the presidential elections to be held on June 7 at Fenerbahçe, the possibility of former president Aziz Yıldırım running as a candidate has changed the internal balances of the club. Yıldırım expressed a cautious approach regarding candidacy with the words, "Let everything calm down, I will talk. I do not necessarily have the desire to be president, but if we can contribute to Fenerbahçe and a formation that will prevent the children from crying together is established, then we will see." However, within the community, these words were interpreted as Yıldırım will be a candidate.
It is known that Barış Göktürk previously called on Yıldırım to run as a candidate. It is discussed that Göktürk may withdraw from candidacy and be included in Yıldırım's list. Among other candidates, Hakan Safi announced that he will run in the election even if Yıldırım becomes a candidate. Mehmet Ali Aydınlar stated that he will decide on candidacy according to Yıldırım's stance.
It is also expected that head coach Aykut Kocaman will be part of Yıldırım's team as a head coach or football director. It is stated that other important figures within the club will determine the candidate they will support according to Yıldırım's candidacy. Developments during the election process will be decisive for the future of Fenerbahçe.
