Gölbaşı mayor says he will pursue projects after joining AK Party

Gölbaşı Mayor Yakup Odabaşı has joined Turkey’s governing AK Party.

He announced the move at a party meeting in Ankara, where he said he was proud to receive his party badge from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Odabaşı said becoming the mayor of a governing-party district had raised residents’ expectations and his responsibilities.

He said he would work with party officials and lawmakers to deliver projects for Gölbaşı, a district in Ankara province.

The meeting also included new council members who had joined the party.

Odabaşı said he would contribute to the government’s “Century of Türkiye” vision.

He did not give details or a timetable for the projects.
