Yonca Aydınoğlu elected as the President of Fethiye Women's Assembly

In the general assembly where the new term administration of the Women's Assembly, aiming to increase women's active role in city governance, was determined, Yonca Aydınoğlu, the sole candidate for the presidency, received all the votes cast and was unanimously elected as the President of the Fethiye City Council Women's Assembly.

The general assembly began with the formation of the executive committee, a moment of silence, and the discussion of agenda items. After evaluating the activity reports, the assembly proceeded to the election agenda. Yonca Aydınoğlu, who was the single candidate for the presidency, became the new president of the Women's Assembly with the support of all members.

After the announcement of the result, Aydınoğlu was applauded in the hall and thanked all the members for their trust. Speaking after being elected, Aydınoğlu emphasized that unity and solidarity are more important than the number of votes received. Highlighting that everyone will work toward the same goal in the Women's Assembly, Aydınoğlu said, "Today, it doesn't matter who got how many votes. We are all part of this assembly. I don't want anyone to be hurt. Very important tasks await all of us in the coming process. We will work for Fethiye in unity and solidarity."

Addressing the importance of women's solidarity, Aydınoğlu stated that they will act with a participatory, productive, and inclusive management approach in the new term. She expressed that they will develop projects to increase women's social, cultural, economic, and local governance participation in Fethiye and that the Women's Assembly will continue working in cooperation with all institutions and organizations, adopting a management approach based on collective wisdom and voluntariness.

Another important agenda item of the general assembly was the executive board elections. In the election where 11 candidates competed for the executive board membership, members cast their votes to determine the new administration.

Following the count, Ayça Çelebi Yelliler, Dilan Saday, Ayşegül Cesur, Tülay Oymak, Berrin Çağlı, Derya Türkmen, and Seher Avcı were elected as principal members of the executive board. Bircan Gültekin, Fatma Füsun Güden, and Halide Seda Altın were determined as substitute members. İlknur Çimen did not receive enough votes in the voting and therefore was not elected to the executive board.

The general assembly concluded with a group commemorative photo and well-wishes after the new board was determined. It was stated that in the new term, the Fethiye City Council Women's Assembly will continue its work to ensure women's more active participation in local decision-making mechanisms, raise awareness on gender equality, and implement social projects that will contribute to city life.
