ANKARA - Former Turkish deputy prime minister Ali Babacan said on Monday he was resigning from President Tayyip Erdogan’s AK Party over “deep differences” with the party’s direction and said that Turkey needed a new vision.
In a statement that appeared to hint at the formation of the rival party, Babacan said it had become impossible to remain a member of the AK Party . Babacan served as economy and foreign minister in the first years of AKP government before becoming deputy prime minister, a role he held from 2009 to 2015. Gul was president from 2007 until 2014, when then-prime minister Erdogan moved to the presidency.
However, criticism towards the AKP and its recent policies has gained momentum after the June 23 defeat, which saw the AKP lose control of the country’s commercial hub to the main opposition party by more than 800,000 votes. Davutoglu had been rumored to be considering joining Babacan and Gul’s breakaway party, but a source close to him said he was not joining Gul and Babacan for now, although he was planning a “new step”.
