Özgür Çelik, who was re-elected as the provincial chairman at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Congress, received his certificate. In his first statement, he said to Gürsel Tekin, "I have nothing to say to those who say I came with a court decision and I will leave with a court decision. I came with the will of the organization, and I will leave with the will of the organization."
Özgür Çelik, who was re-elected as the provincial chairman at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Congress, received his certificate from the Sarıyer District Election Board. Çelik stated that he received his certificate together with party members and announced that he would continue his duties.
FIRST WORDS ARE EXPLOSIVE! HE TARGETS GÜRSEL TEKİN
Çelik, who mentioned that the building in Sarıyer has been turned into a working office and that any possible decision would be made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, said, "I have nothing to say to those who say I came with a court decision and I will leave with a court decision. I came with the will of the organization, and I will leave with the will of the organization. Therefore, the will of the organization that elected me as the Istanbul Provincial Chairman on October 8, 2023, is what matters. The will of the organization that elected me again at the extraordinary congress on September 24 is what matters."
After receiving his certificate, Çelik went to the provincial headquarters building in Sarıyer and stated in his announcement that the situation regarding the CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairmanship has been discussed in the public for days, and the purpose of this is to portray the CHP as being in conflict with the public.
RESPONSE TO GÜRSEL TEKİN QUESTION
When a journalist reminded Çelik that Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Administration by the Istanbul 45th Civil Court of First Instance, was also using the same building, Çelik said: "I made a statement in front of this building before October 8, 2023. We are here to manage from the street. For me, all streets and all squares are the Istanbul Provincial Headquarters. This is currently the General Chair's Working Office. The 39 district buildings are my office.
Buildings are symbolic places. Guests are hosted here, meetings are held, protocol guests come and are hosted in such places. Therefore, I believe this discussion has no meaning. Any decision regarding this place is at the discretion of our chairman and our Central Executive Committee."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Gürsel Tekin had stated during the extraordinary congress of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairmanship, "We are not a board that comes with a congress decision. We are a board that comes with a court decision. Our duty will be terminated by a court decision."
