As the conflict in the main opposition party intensifies ahead of the lawsuit to annul the CHP congress, Özgür Özel made a striking statement. Without naming him, Özel targeted Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who is rumored to be seeking to become the party leader again, saying, "The goal is not to achieve results, but to create a debate within the party during the process. What saddens me is that there are those who fall for this game and engage in discussions about the party; there are those who stir up debates within the party."

The lawsuit filed for the annulment of the Republican People's Party's (CHP) 38th Ordinary Congress, which took place in November 2023, will be heard on June 30. While the main opposition is getting increasingly chaotic before the trial, the claim that former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will return to lead the party if a "absolute nullity" decision is made in the congress case has intensified the conflict.
SPECIAL: "THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO DISCUSS THE PARTY"
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel made a striking statement regarding the issue. Özel, who argued that the party is being discussed, said: "I have said from the first day that I am sure this case will be rejected, that it will not yield a negative result. The aim is not to achieve a result, but to discuss the party in the process. What saddens me is that there are those who fall for this game and discuss the party, there are those who want to discuss the party. That's why I say this is not result-oriented, it is process-oriented."
"LET'S NOT FALL FOR THE GAME"
Let's not fall for the game, let's look ahead. We have no other, we have no old, we have no one left behind. Until today, we have not fallen short in respect to anyone, and we will not do so in the future."
"THEY WILL PROTEST FOR 2-3 DAYS"
According to the news by Sözcü writer Saygı Öztürk; speaking during a visit by a CHP delegation, Kılıçdaroğlu stated regarding the possibility of the congress being annulled, "Friends, there is no need to panic about this. What will the organization's reaction be? They will protest for 2-3 days. What was it, they said they wouldn't let me into the headquarters. Yes, let them not. Where the chairman is, that is the headquarters. All of these will fall into place."
"IF THEY OPPOSE THE DECISION..."
Kılıçdaroğlu also pointed out that opposing this decision would lead to various practical problems, asking, "If they oppose the decision, how will they pay salaries, how will they select the deputies, how will they determine the mayor?"
CRITICISM OF İMAMOĞLU'S RALLIES
Kılıçdaroğlu's statements were not limited to the congress case. He also expressed that he does not find the support rallies organized for Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is facing the risk of arrest, appropriate. It was learned that Kılıçdaroğlu said, "This issue is a matter between Ekrem Bey and the law. There is no need for such rallies."
