Breaking news… CHP’s Ümit Dikbayır resigned from his party. Ümit Dikbayır announced the decision in a statement on his social media account.

Ümit Dikbayır stated the following in his resignation statement:

The reason for this decision is not the history, base or values ​​of the Republican People’s Party. My objection; Even though he occupied the highest positions in this party, he still cannot take the party out of the shadow of his personal calculations, resentments and political ambitions.

While Türkiye needs tranquility, reason and a sense of responsibility; I do not accept that the Republican People’s Party has become a tool for one person’s endless showdowns. The offices of the party founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk cannot be the scene of personal prosperity and rematches of the past. I do not find it right that a party that is supposed to be a hope for Türkiye should be dragged into polarization, purges and political intrigues for the sake of the personal settlement of a person who has been appointed to office.

My objection is not to the Republican People’s Party; It belongs to those who turn the legacy of the Republic into a means of maintaining their own political existence. For this reason, I resign from the membership of the Republican People’s Party.
