Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) Chairman Ali Babacan addressed claims that his party would join the AKP . "Those who create these rumors must first understand this: we aspire to be the sole rulers of this country," Babacan said, challenging the government.

Babacan said, "These days, the number of people assigning us tasks has increased again. Rumors are endless. Those who create rumors must first understand that we aspire to the full governance of this country. Because we are the most prepared to govern it."

"We are the ones who have made the most detailed preparations, not just in the economy but across the entire government's responsibilities," Babacan said, adding, "I'm willing to bet we're more prepared to govern this country than either the ruling party or the main opposition party. If anyone has any objections, they're welcome." Babacan assessed the work of the National Solidarity, Brotherhood, and Democracy Commission, stating that the commission should move on to the final report phase.
