AKP statement on attack on CHP member Bahadur
In a statement issued by the AKP Kayseri Provincial Directorate, it said: “As is known, as a result of the local elections held in Pinarbaşı on June 2, 2024, the mayoral position was transferred from the MHP to the CHP. Of course, a democratic position requires consent to the will of the people, and we must accept the results and bless the city.” The history of democracy and free elections in our country, political parties and candidates However, sometimes, even on a local scale, attitudes and actions that go beyond the bounds of competition are born, and actions that touch people’s sensitive parts are mutually taken. In fact, it seems that one of the citizens who was on the winning side in the re-election in Pinarbaş turned the election results into a personal issue in his enjoyment. It seems that it became more personal than political. Therefore, we do not think that the younger brother of the MHP candidate, who could not digest the “insult” against his brother and injured Mr. Şerafettin Bahadır, should have any relationship with the MHP or the political system. After all, in our opinion, trying to use such a sad incident in politics is not a healthy and correct approach for any political party or individual. Moreover, such an approach does not help the tranquility of our Pinarbasi district. Our expectation is that an independent judicial institution will bring the incident to light in its naked glory. As law-abiding people, we would like to say that the best course of action is to wait for the results of the prosecution, investigation and judiciary. On this occasion, we wish our compatriot Mr. Serafettin Bahadur a speedy recovery and pray for his speedy recovery. Furthermore, we believe that it is our duty from the point of view of political morality to consider that using people’s physical features as political material is ugly and unethical. However, the absolute principle that no justification can justify violence is beyond debate for us. “AK Party will continue to defend the rights of the people of Pinarbasi by always supporting rights and truth together with all people and organizations.”
