After the dismissal of Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik and his team, attention turned to the case regarding the CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress, which will be heard on September 15. If the court issues a decision of "absolute nullity," it is rumored that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will accept the position of CHP Chairman and take on the responsibility of preventing the division of his party.
The Istanbul 45th Civil Court, with its decision made yesterday, annulled the 38th Ordinary Istanbul Provincial Congress of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and suspended the Özgür Çelik administration for 'precautionary' reasons.
CHP ISTANBUL TRUSTED TO GÜRSEL TEKİN
The court ruled that a temporary committee consisting of Gürsel Tekin, Zeki Şen, Hasan Babacan, Müjdat Gürbüz, and Erkan Narsap would be assigned to exercise the powers of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Chair, Provincial Executive Board, and Provincial Disciplinary Board. The decision directly affected critical developments within the CHP and the party's management.
CLAIM THAT "KILIÇDAROĞLU WILL ACCEPT THE POSITION"
As attention turns to the CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress to be held on September 15, the Germany-based international media organization DW Turkish has provided a highly discussed backstage information. According to the conveyed backstage information, if the court issues a 'absolute nullity' decision on September 15, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will accept the position of CHP Chairman.
KILIÇDAROĞLU BELIEVES CHAOS WILL CALM DOWN QUICKLY
Kılıçdaroğlu is reportedly confident that any chaos that may arise after the decision will settle down within a few weeks and that he will take on the task of preventing the division of his party. According to the claim, Kılıçdaroğlu will oppose any early congress calls that may come from the current CHP administration after taking over the position. It is stated that Kılıçdaroğlu, who believes the current delegate structure has been compromised, wants to initiate a process where all delegates will be re-elected starting from the neighborhoods up to the congress.
KILIÇDAROĞLU MAY BE EXPELLED
Although the likelihood of an absolute nullity decision in the CHP is considered low, if such a decision is made, it is planned to take the same steps as in Istanbul. In other words, Kılıçdaroğlu and his team, who will take over the party, may be expelled from the party just like Gürsel Tekin.
