The name of Gizem Altunsoy, who was announced to be on the Ankara Provincial Executive Board of the CHP, sparked controversy due to her past posts on social media. It was claimed that after intense reactions, Altunsoy's appointment to the provincial administration was abandoned on the instruction of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, and it was decided that she would not be assigned any role within the party.

It was reported that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was appointed as the Chairman of the CHP by a decision of absolute nullity, determined a list of 35 people for the CHP Ankara Provincial Administration during the Central Executive Board (MYK) meeting he convened on Tuesday.

The name of 24-year-old Gizem Altunsoy, who was on the list, became a topic of debate on social media in a short time.

HER SHARES DREW REACTION

It was alleged that Altunsoy, who has been making posts under the username "Gizem Lara" on platform X for many years, acted together with pro-government accounts in spreading various claims against CHP politicians.

Allegations that Altunsoy also played a role in spreading claims circulating on social media targeting Manisa Şehzadeler Mayor Gülşah Durbay and CHP Chairman Özgür Özel sparked widespread public reaction.

After the news on the subject was published, many users on social media reacted to Altunsoy's inclusion in the provincial administration.

CLAIM: APPOINTMENT CANCELLED AT THE LAST MOMENT

Following the reactions, it was alleged that a change was made to the 35-person list accepted in the MYK meeting dated June 30. According to the claim, upon the instruction of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the appointment of Gizem Altunsoy to the CHP Ankara Provincial Executive Board was abandoned. It was asserted that it was decided not to assign Altunsoy to any position within the party.
