Ataşehir Mayor Battal İlgezdi from CHP shared the post regarding his resignation on his social media account.
Mayor İlgezdi said, "Those who supported the Chairman of the CHP, Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, at the last congress are being purged from our party one by one." He said that as a 40-year-old member of the CHP who worked day and night at all levels, these events saddened both him and millions of party members.
Stating that he was not happy with the party's values being spent so rudely, İlgezdi announced that he resigned from the party, of which he was honored to be a member for 40 years.
As you may remember, Battal İlgezdi, who participated in the 29 March 2009 local elections as the Ataşehir Mayor Candidate from the Republican People's Party, won the election and became the founding mayor of the new district, Ataşehir. Battal İlgezdi, who later won the Local Elections of 30 March 2014 and 31 March 2019, served as the Mayor of Ataşehir for three terms.
