The Ankara 3rd Civil Court of First Instance rejected the request for the annulment of the CHP's Istanbul Provincial Congress dated October 8, 2023. The court also dismissed the case regarding the annulment of the 38th CHP Congress scheduled for November 4-5, 2023, on procedural grounds due to the fact that the same case had been previously filed.
"ANKARA'S DECISION DOES NOT BIND ISTANBUL"
Following the court's decision, the question "Has the trustee decision been lifted?" came to the agenda. Legal experts we consulted at Haberler.cım stated that the decision does not affect the process in Istanbul, noting, "Ankara's decision does not bind Istanbul. The trustee has not been annulled."
THE PROCESS CONTINUES IN ISTANBUL
Legal experts noted that the case regarding the provincial congress held in Istanbul is being conducted by the competent court, the Istanbul 45th Civil Court of First Instance, and that the process will continue there.
