Doğan Adıbelli and Türkan Kayır, candidates of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), who were elected with 71.27 percent of the votes in the elections held on 31 March in İdil district of Şırnak, took office.

The first thing the DEM Party co-mayors did was to remove the booth placed by the trustees at the entrance of the municipality on the grounds of "security" with construction equipment.

DEM Party Co-Mayor Doğan Adıbelli stated: "We have removed the so-called security booth that was placed at the entrance gate of our municipality during the trustee period. The municipality is our people's own home that they can enter at any time."
