Republican People's Party (CHP) Hopa District Chairman Şükrü Aydemir said that they achieved a historical success together with Artvin. Congratulating Bilgehan Erdem, who won the Artvin Mayoralty, and Utku Cihan, who won the Hopa Mayoral race, Aydemir said, “Our party received over 55 percent of the votes in Hopa. Our Mayor Utku Cihan won the ballot box by outperforming his opponents. The color of politics has changed throughout Türkiye and in Artvin. An understanding has changed. Our citizens said 'enough' to the high cost of living, nepotism, plunder and waste and voted for change. We wrote a great history together with our people. We grew solidarity and built hope. From now on, we will wake up to a completely different Hopa, a completely different Artvin and Turkey. "We will all live better days together," he said.
