"Great tension at the Democratic Party convention."

The tension rose at the 15th Ordinary Congress of the Democratic Party (DP). İlay Aksoy, whose candidacy for the party leadership was rejected due to missing signatures, harshly criticized the party management. Following the events at the congress, it was claimed that deputies Cemal Enginyurt and Salih Uzun would resign.

THE REJECTION OF CANDIDACY DISTURBED THE ENVIRONMENT

The 15th Ordinary Congress of the Democratic Party, held at a hotel in Ankara under the slogan "Turkey's Common Sense Movement - The Word is Again the Nation's," became a scene of major debates. İlay Aksoy's candidacy for the party leadership was not accepted due to missing signatures. This situation ignited tensions at the congress.

After the board declared her candidacy invalid, Aksoy made strong statements from the podium. Aksoy criticized the party management by saying, "A coup has been carried out in this party today. You are no different from the AK Party." The Chairman of the Board defended his decision by stating that some delegates had withdrawn their signatures and some were deemed invalid.

İSMAİL SAYMAZ: CEMAL ENGİNYURT MAY RESIGN

Journalist İsmail Saymaz suggested that following the crisis at the congress, Democratic Party Istanbul Deputy Cemal Enginyurt and İzmir Deputy Salih Uzun might resign. Saymaz noted that the deputies could announce their resignations tomorrow, which would reduce the number of Democratic Party deputies in the Parliament by one.

PRESIDENT UYSAL'S CONGRESS DECISION INCREASED TENSION

The surprise decision of Democratic Party Chairman Gültekin Uysal to hold a congress two days ago had increased the tension within the party. İlay Aksoy, who stated that she faced obstacles during the candidacy process, expressed her reaction by saying, "Despite asking several times, the updated delegate list was not provided to me." Aksoy argued that hiding the list not only put a mortgage on her candidacy but also on the will of the delegates.
