On October 13, 2026, Faik Tunay, a guest on TV100's live broadcast, asked, "Today, 90 MPs and 250 mayors are in the New Party; the two largest TV channels supporting the opposition are on Özgür Özel's side. Despite this, why is Özel engaging in polemics with Kemal Bey?"
"The New Party is currently the main opposition party; they have the perception advantage. While they should be dealing with Erdoğan and the AK Party, why are they still preoccupied with the CHP and Kılıçdaroğlu?" asked Tunay, concluding his speech by saying, "The opposition tearing each other apart always benefits Erdoğan."
