Abstract:

Although public administration consists of a fragmented organizational structure, its integrity is essential. Therefore, there is a relationship between the central administration and local administrations organized outside the central administration. Pursuant to Article 127 of the Constitution, the relationship between the central administration and local administrations must be regulated by law. For this reason, the framework of this relationship is tried to be specified by the laws related to local administrations. However, there may be problems in this relationship, sometimes due to the shortcomings of regulations in the laws and sometimes due to the ambiguities in the regulations, and central administration and local administrations may confront each other. One of the issues that give rise to problems in the relationship between the central administration and local administrations can be said to be the authority of the central administration to terminate mayorship, which is the elected body of municipalities. The main subject of the study is the relationship between the central administration and local administrations. However, in the study, this relationship is discussed from a different point of view instead of the general perspective and over the termination of mayorship, which sometimes leads to confrontation between the central administration and municipalities and often causes disputes in public opinion. This study aims to analyze how mayorship is terminated, how the new mayor or deputy mayor is selected, and what the powers of the central administration in this whole process are.
