“He assumes that if the CHP loses the local elections, it will melt and fall apart,” Yanardağ said, adding, “Thus, he thinks that he (İYİ Party) can first become the main opposition and then the ruling party.”.
Emphasizing that the AKP government also supports the attitude of Akşener and the IYI Party, Yanardağ said, “The IYI Party administration is falling for this ploy. Some IYI Party executives, who are part of the lie and slander by jurnalizing me, are thus deepening their AKP trolling. The IYI Party administration is preparing to give the municipalities to the AKP-MHP coalition. But they will not succeed. IYI Party is playing trojan horse.”.
2. Akşener and the Good Party leadership seem to have based their entire calculation on the failure of the CHP and the left. It assumes that if the CHP loses the local elections, it will melt and disintegrate. Thus, it thinks that it can become the main opposition and then the ruling party.

Merdan Yanardağ used the following expressions in his post on his X account.
Any opposition movement or party whose politics, discourse and direction are determined by the government or its opponent can never be successful. As the song goes, the attitude of “Don't be someone else, be yourself...” is first necessary in politics.

The IYI Party leadership, one of the main consequences of the election loss, continues to troll the government. The IYI Party is preparing to betray its voters and become a part of the government operation in the local elections.

The AKP government also supports the position of Akşener and the IYI Party. The IYI Party leadership is falling for this ploy. Some Good Party executives, who are part of the lie and slander by jurnalizing me, thus deepen AKP trolling. The IYI Party leadership is preparing to give the municipalities to the AKP-MHP coalition. But they will not succeed. The Good Party is becoming a Trojan horse.
Local elections can be won without the Good Party. Because the republican and right-wing democratic voters who voted for the Good Party will not pay attention to this dirty calculation. These voters did not vote for the Good Party so that Erdoğan and Bahçeli would win again. This time the alliance will be built in the field, in life.
Akşener and the IYI Party moved away from its mission. It did not become a democratic right-wing party to fill the gap in the center-right basin. It did not inspire confidence, leaving the table of 6 was the breaking point. Akşener is dividing the opposition, not the government. The plan is to create a right-wing main opposition to the Islamist government.
This calculation of Akşener, supported by the AKP-MHP government, will not work. On the contrary, the democratic forces of this country will not allow the government to win the local elections. This time we will win. The IYI Party will also be buried in the ballot box.
