Turgut Altınok: My Opponent Focused Solely on Presidential Candidacy
With local elections approaching, the race for Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor is heating up. Turgut Altınok, the AK Party candidate, recently attended the “Black Sea People’s Meeting” as part of his campaign activities.
During the meeting, Altınok criticized the current mayor, Mansur Yavaş, for neglecting the city’s issues. He claimed that Yavaş focused more on his presidential candidacy and touring Turkey, rather than addressing the problems faced by Ankara residents. Altınok emphasized the importance of winning the hearts of the people through tangible actions, rather than just hanging pictures of oneself around the city.
Altınok also highlighted the deterioration of services provided by the Metropolitan Municipality under Yavaş’s administration. He mentioned the neglect of infrastructure and green spaces, stating that Ankara has become a “drying city” due to the lack of maintenance and care.
Furthermore, Altınok questioned Yavaş’s promises regarding drinking water supply to Polatlı. Despite Yavaş’s announcement that water would be brought to the area, Altınok claimed that the delivery had not yet been fulfilled, blaming the Metropolitan Municipality for the delay.
As the election date approaches, the rivalry between the candidates intensifies, with both Altınok and Yavaş vying for the support of Ankara voters. Stay updated on the latest developments in the mayoral race by following NTV on social media.
