Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu responded to Özgür Özel's proposal "Let party members elect the chairman." Kılıçdaroğlu said, "How the chairman will be elected is clear. You cannot bypass the congress. Congresses elect chairmen."
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, reinstated as the Chairman of the CHP after the absolute nullity decision, exchanged greetings with the press in Ankara. Responding to journalists' questions, Kılıçdaroğlu also spoke about Özgür Özel's proposal "Let 2 million CHP members elect the CHP Chairman." Kılıçdaroğlu said, "After the precautionary measure is lifted, the congress will be held on a legal basis."
Responding to the question "Will you come face to face with Özgür Özel?", Kılıçdaroğlu said, "Why wouldn't we? We are not enemies; we are two people working in the same party. Therefore, we will talk and meet with all our party members. Splitting, fighting, and taking division to irreversible points is not right."
"CONGRESS WILL BE HELD AFTER THE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE IS LIFTED"
Regarding the congress agenda, Kılıçdaroğlu stated, "We will hold a congress, friends. Can a party exist without a congress? For this, the congress must be held on a legal basis. There is a precautionary measure; after it is lifted, the congress will be held, no problem."
Responding to the question "Will an expulsion process be initiated?", Kılıçdaroğlu said, "There are many rumors, friends, don't believe them. A party administration is conducted lawfully and seriously. You can't do anything with rumors. There are conditions for expulsion; it's not like someone saying 'I don't like this, let me expel them.' No such thing exists."
