Böke announcing her resignation had said: "I don't find it appropriate to be a part of this management understanding at this stage. At least 50% of Turkey stood against strongman regime on April 16 but this will was seized through unlawful means. What falls to the CHP is to not legitimize this illegitimacy and give a political struggle with the people to turn their will of democracy to the reality of Turkey.
Böke, yaptığı açıklamada "Gelinen noktada mevcut yönetim anlayışının parçası olmayı uygun bulmuyorum. Referandumun gayrimeşru sonucunu kabullenerek hedefler ve politikalar oluşturmak, demokrasiye ve her şeyden önce demokrasi iradesini ortaya koymuş milyonlara haksızlıktır” demişti.
