In the CHP, where the court's absolute nullity decision brought Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu back to the general chairmanship, Özgür Özel, who has reached a crossroads, received a shock from Mansur Yavaş. According to the report by Haberler.com Ankara Representative Şerife Güzel, Mansur Yavaş will not join Özgür Özel if he forms a new party. It is stated that Yavaş has communicated this decision to Özel.
In CHP, all eyes turned to how Mansur Yavaş, the Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, and some metropolitan mayors would behave in the rivalry between Özgür Özel and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
WILL MANSUR YAVAŞ MOVE TO THE NEW PARTY?
According to behind-the-scenes information reported by Haberler.com Ankara Representative Şerife Güzel, Mansur Yavaş will not join the party that Özgür Özel will form. It is stated that Yavaş has conveyed this thought to the Özel administration.
However, it was noted that Yavaş does not intend to leave CHP and pursue independent politics at this stage, but rather will remain in CHP while maintaining distance from national politics and not taking sides in internal party disputes.
THE ÖZEL ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT MAYORS FREE
It was learned that the Özel administration has also decided to leave mayors from CHP free if a new party is established. It was stated that Özel and his team made this decision with the logic, "If we decide to split, we will do it due to conditions, with the intention to one day return to our party. In the meantime, there is no need for mayors to leave CHP."
Accordingly, mayors can remain in CHP if they wish.
