In a process where the effects of the crisis continued, in the 1930 municipal elections the Republic's People's Division and the Free Republic's Division met. The opposition opposed the voter in each region with different arguments, while due to the economic and commercial structure of İzmir, it preferred the use of an indexed investment language. İzmir, with a wide background, has its geographical location, its trading capacity, its central position of different cultures and beliefs, was seen as the key point of choice. The authority complained of the uncontrollable movements of the opposition and the increase in the activity of the opposition in places such as Menemen in the Izmir elections, while the opposition claimed that the authority entered in cooperation with the Governor Kazim Mr. and used the electoral equipment against them. The most discussed issue in the Izmir municipal elections was the emphasis that some politicians in the opposition produced by the power were in cooperation with the Greeks during the National Struggle period. This speech brought the power to the opposition. In the municipal elections, the tendency of migrants, expatriates and non-Muslims toward the opposition flock recognized the possibility of seeing the faults of the project to build a society with power.
