Former Hatay Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Lütfü Savaş, who was expelled from the CHP, filed a lawsuit for the annulment of the CHP's controversial recent congress.
Following the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office's initiation of an investigation into the 38th Ordinary Congress of the Republican People's Party (CHP) held on November 4-5, 2023, at the Ankara Sports Hall, a new development has emerged that could put the CHP in a difficult position.
FORMER MAYOR FILED A LAWSUIT FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE CONGRESS Former Hatay Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Lütfü Savaş, who was expelled from the CHP, filed a lawsuit for the annulment of the CHP Congress, where Özgür Özel was elected as the party leader.
HE WAS EXPELLED Lütfü Savaş was referred to disciplinary action with a request for "definite expulsion" due to his statements regarding the party in December and was subsequently expelled. It was reported that Savaş was expelled on the grounds of "contributing to actions contrary to the party's representation principles" due to his post accusing the CHP of "exploiting terrorism for political gain."
Lütfü Savaş INVESTIGATION INTO CHP CONGRESS The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office stated that the investigation into the CHP Congress began with the allegation that "votes were bought on the day of the congress," and it was expressed that the documents were sent to the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office with a decision of incompetence following a tip-off made to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
Meanwhile, the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has summoned Akif Hamzaçebi and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for questioning; Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç stated that the investigation was initiated following the statements of some CHP members.
