CRISIS CONTINUES IN CHP
Recent developments in the party have made the tension within CHP more visible. Following the "absolute nullity" decision, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's return to the chairmanship opened the door to a new process within the party. The formation of a separate holiday greeting delegation by Özgür Özel's camp in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, WhatsApp debates among deputies, and the postponement of the Party Assembly meeting were among the developments that raised the tension in CHP.
PM MEETING POSTPONED
The Party Assembly and High Disciplinary Board meetings, expected to be held by Kılıçdaroğlu after the holiday, were also postponed due to the incomplete notification process. How the party administration will take shape and who will make up Kılıçdaroğlu's new core team are among the most discussed topics in CHP circles.
EYES ON NEW ERA MESSAGES
As leadership debates continue within CHP, the messages Kılıçdaroğlu will deliver after the holiday are also eagerly awaited. Within the party, movement in circles related to both Özgür Özel and Mansur Yavaş is drawing attention. The greeting program was also considered an important display for delivering a message of "unity" to the party base.
