Berkay Bahar’s list leads ATSO elections, with two groups tied
Members of the Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry voted at the ANFAŞ Fair Centre to choose representatives for 49 professional groups.
The election was for 297 committee members and 124 council members, not a direct vote for the chamber’s next president.
Unofficial results reported by one account gave Berkay Bahar’s blue list 23 group wins, ahead of Davut Çetin’s red list with 12 and Hatice Öz’s orange list with five.
Independent lists won seven groups, while two groups ended in ties and are to be decided by lottery.
Another account said Bahar’s list led in 26 groups, so published counts differ.
The result matters because the elected committees and council will represent businesses across Antalya’s sectors, and the tied groups and a contested result remain unresolved.
