It has been claimed that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to his role as chairman of the CHP after the annulment decision, wants to expel some party deputies. While sources indicate that a "cautious expulsion" formula is on the table, it is alleged that the names Veli Ağbaba, Ali Mahir Başarır, Burhanettin Bulut, Turan Taşkın Özer, and Özgür Karabat have come up. The possible expulsion move is expected to further escalate tensions within the CHP.
The steps to be taken by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the position of general chairman after the 'absolute nullity' decision regarding the 38th Ordinary Convention of the CHP, are among the most talked-about topics in political circles. While it is wondered what kind of path Kılıçdaroğlu, who announced his new A Team by making changes in the party management, will follow in the upcoming process, a new claim that stirs the CHP circles has come to the agenda.
Sabah Newspaper columnist Mahmut Övür claimed that a disciplinary process could be initiated against some members of parliament within the CHP. The backstage information included in Övür's article led to comments that the tension within the party could grow even more in the coming days.
KILIÇDAROĞLU'S ROAD MAP IS WONDERED
It is stated that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the chairmanship after the court decision, initially focused on restructuring the party organizations and the headquarters management.
While evaluations are made in political circles that Kılıçdaroğlu will try to keep the division within the party under control without deepening it, whether the disciplinary mechanism will be applied against some names is also being discussed.
It is claimed that Kılıçdaroğlu will prefer to proceed without rushing the process. However, it is said that various methods, including 'precautionary expulsion', are on the table regarding certain names in order to ensure party discipline.
FIRST STEP IN THE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS WILL COME FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
According to the CHP statute, in order to initiate a disciplinary process against a member of parliament or a party administrator, the Central Executive Board must first take a referral decision. Then, the file can be sent to the relevant disciplinary boards, and the Party Assembly may also get involved in the process. Therefore, it is stated that the critical stage in the circles is the decisions to be taken by the Executive Board.
FIVE NAMES ARE TALKED ABOUT IN THE CIRCLES
One of the most talked-about topics in CHP headquarters circles in recent days is the names that are likely to be referred to discipline. Among the deputies mentioned in the circles are important CHP figures Veli Ağbaba, Ali Mahir Başarır, Burhanettin Bulut, Turan Taşkın Özer, and Özgür Karabat.
It is known that these names have recently taken positions close to Özgür Özel and have come to the forefront with their statements defending the current management approach within the party.
THE CRISIS IN THE CHP HAS NOT ENDED YET
Following the absolute nullity decision, evaluations that two different political lines have come face to face in the CHP continue. While there is the new management approach shaped under the leadership of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on one side, it is stated that the political line formed by Özgür Özel and those close to him continues to have influence on the other. While it is commented that this situation makes the power struggle within the party more visible, it is stated that possible disciplinary processes could reshape the balances in the CHP.
THE CLAIM OF PRECAUTIONARY EXPULSION CREATED AN AGENDA
The claim of 'precautionary expulsion' had a wide impact in political circles. It is evaluated that if such a step is taken, the internal discussions in the CHP could gain a new dimension. However, so far, no official statement regarding the disciplinary process has been made from the CHP administration or the Kılıçdaroğlu camp. Party sources also maintain their silence regarding the claims.
In the coming days, the steps to be taken by the CHP Central Executive Board and the Party Assembly are expected to determine the direction of the new period in the party. Whether any action will be taken against the names mentioned in the circles has become one of the most followed topics in Ankara politics.
