Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the CHP General Chairmanship seat with a nullity decision, went to the General Headquarters before the group meeting where Özgür Özel would speak. Kılıçdaroğlu left the question "The delegates have collected the necessary signatures for the congress, what will you do when the signatures come?" unanswered when he left his home in the morning and got into his official car.
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the chairmanship of the General Presidency after the absolute nullity decision in the CHP, appeared before the cameras amid extraordinary congress debates. When asked about the signatures collected by the delegates for the congress, Kılıçdaroğlu left the question unanswered and got into his vehicle.
EYES ON KILIÇDAROĞLU IN CHP
It remains a matter of curiosity how Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who became the CHP Chairman again after the court's absolute nullity decision, will follow a roadmap.
As demands for an extraordinary congress rise within the party, all eyes are on both the signatures to come from the delegates and the steps Kılıçdaroğlu will take.
ASKED WHILE LEAVING HOME IN THE MORNING
Kılıçdaroğlu left his home and went to the Headquarters before the group meeting where CHP Chairman Özgür Özel will speak. During this time, journalists directed the most debated topic of recent days to Kılıçdaroğlu.
A reporter asked, "The delegates collected the necessary signatures for the congress; what will you do when the signatures come?" Kılıçdaroğlu did not give any answer to the question and left the area by getting into his official vehicle.
111 DEPUTIES HAD CALLED FOR A CONGRESS
The spark for the debates in the CHP was ignited by the joint declaration signed by 111 deputies, including Özgür Özel. The deputies stated that the power to decide on the CHP's direction and management rests with the delegates and called for an extraordinary congress to be held on July 12, 2026.
The declaration also stated that if the party does not hold a congress by a certain date, it may face the risk of not being able to enter the elections.
27 DEPUTIES HAD NOT SIGNED
While 111 CHP deputies supported the congress call, 27 deputies did not sign the joint declaration. It was noteworthy that among those who did not sign was Oğuz Kaan Salıcı. Salıcı later stated in a statement that he is not against the congress but did not sign because he did not find the content of the text appropriate.
CRITICAL DECISION EXPECTED
While claims that the delegates have reached the required number of signatures for the extraordinary congress are discussed in the CHP corridors, Kılıçdaroğlu's silence drew attention.
Eyes within the party are now turned to both the steps the delegates will take and how Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will respond to the possible congress demand.
