At the CHP congress where Özgür Özel was re-elected as the party leader, names close to Kılıçdaroğlu were also included in the Party Council elections. It is being discussed that the shadow cabinet, which was announced at the previous congress and was determined from within the Central Executive Board (MYK), will be transformed into a structure that will play a role in the presidential candidate's activities. Thus, the shadow cabinet will be shaped according to İmamoğlu's preferences.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) held its 21st Extraordinary Congress, in line with its decision to prevent the appointment of a trustee to the party, where Özgür Özel was re-elected as the leader of the CHP. Özel received 1,171 votes at the congress, which had 1,323 registered delegates. 105 votes were deemed invalid.
BERHAN ŞİMŞEK COULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE, ÜMİT UYSAL WITHDREW
After Kılıçdaroğlu announced that he would not be a candidate, it was expected that Özel would be the sole candidate for the chairmanship. However, Antalya Muratpaşa Mayor Ümit Uysal and former Istanbul MP Berhan Şimşek also announced their candidacies. Uysal announced on the morning of April 6 that he was withdrawing from the candidacy. Berhan Şimşek could not be a candidate due to insufficient support.
NAMES CLOSE TO KILIÇDAROĞLU ARE ON THE LIST
As expected, the competition at the Extraordinary Congress took place during the election of the 60-member Party Council (PM). Özel's key list received approval from all delegates. Among those on Özel's key list was Berkay Zengin, who inspired İmamoğlu's campaign slogan "everything will be beautiful, Ekrem Abi" by saying it from the window of the campaign bus when he was a child during the 2019 local election campaign.
In his congress speech, Özgür Özel, who largely preserved the existing PM except for some mandatory requirements like the "age quota," included former Group Deputy Chairman Engin Özkoç, who is close to former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, in the PM list. The list also included Ali Haydar Hakverdi, Semra Dinçer, and retired ambassador Namık Tan, known for their closeness to Kılıçdaroğlu.
Özel also nominated 5 of the 8 names that entered the PM by breaking the list in the 2023 Congress from his own list this time. Müslim Sarı, Orhan Sarıbal, and Koza Yardımcı, who entered the PM from the opposition list in 2023, were not included in Özel's list.
Salıcı included not only Yardımcı and Sarıbal in his list but also former party spokesperson Tekirdağ MP Faik Öztrak and Kahramanmaraş MP Ali Öztunç.
MAHMUT TANAL IS ALSO ON THE LIST
Şanlıurfa MP Mahmut Tanal, who played an active role in the protests that began after the operation against İBB and İmamoğlu's arrest and gained great admiration from young people on social media, was included in Özel's key list.
ÖZEL'S A TEAM CONSISTS OF THESE NAMES
The 52 PM members referred to as CHP's A team, in an unofficial and quota-applied form, consisted of the following names:
"Deniz Yavuzyılmaz, Suat Özçağdaş, Mahmut Tanal, Gül Çiftci, Ensar Aytekin, Hikmet Erbilgin, Gamze Taşcıer, Ali Abbas Ertürk, Canan Taşer, Mahir Yüksel, Namık Tan, Turgay Özcan, Selin Sayek Böke, Özgür Karabat, Berkay Gezgin, Erhan Adem, Baki Aydöner, Semra Dinçer, Saniye Barut, Deniz Yücel, Nurhayat Altaca Kayışoğlu, Ozan Işık, Ali Haydar Hakverdi, Yalçın Görgöz, Burhanettin Bulut, Ali Haydar Fırat, Murat Bakan, Melisa Uğraş, Pınar Uzun Okakın, Ulaş Karasu, Bedirhan Berk Doğru, Hikmet Yalım Halıcı, Nazan Güneysu, Burcu Mazıcıoğlu, Mehmet Necati Yağcı, Zeliha Aksaz Şahbaz, İsmail Atakan Ünver, Ecevit Keleş, Mustafa Sezgin Tanrıkulu, Berna Özgül, Şengül Yeşildal, Mehmet Alkın Denizaslanı, Gökan Zeybek, Uğurcan İrak, Özgür Ceylan, Sinem Kırçiçek, Sevgi Kılıç, Engin Özkoç, Niyazi Şen, Aylin Nazlıaka, Ahmet Hakan Uyanık, Uygar Parçal."

At the congress, the members selected from the BKSP list of the 60-member PM were also determined. Özgür Özel made 8 preferences from the 12-member BKSP list. The names in a quota-applied manner were as follows:
"Yalçın Karatepe (881), Yankı Bağcıoğlu (858), Emine Uçak Erdoğan (817), Gülşah Deniz Atalar (809), Gökçe Gökçen (794), Bahattin Bahadır Erdem (781), Baran Bozoğlu (735), Berker Esen (731)"
'SHADOW CABINET' IMAMOĞLU REVISION
After the congress, CHP leader Özgür Özel will determine the Central Executive Board (MYK) from the new PM. After being elected as the chairman at the 38th Ordinary Congress, Özel announced an organizational restructuring in the party management, revealing an 18-member "shadow cabinet" from the 24 MYK members. Six of the MYK members are responsible for the party's operations.
It is stated that after the extraordinary congress, the shadow cabinet will no longer be determined from within the MYK, but could be transformed into a structure that will play an active role in the presidential candidate's activities. İmamoğlu, who has been announced as the party's presidential candidate, also stated that they would establish presidential working offices in Ankara and Istanbul. It is being discussed in party circles that the shadow cabinet will be shaped according to İmamoğlu's preferences and structured to play a role in the election campaign.
