"APPLICATIONS TO THE SUPREME ELECTION COUNCIL WERE REJECTED"
In the case opened by a CHP Istanbul Provincial and Congress Delegate regarding the irregularities at the Istanbul Provincial Congress, allegations of interest provision, and actions aimed at influencing the will of the voters, Minister Tunç noted that the Istanbul 45th Civil Court of First Instance has provisionally appointed a temporary board to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency.

It is the best course of action for all party officials, especially the CHP General President, to adopt a tone that respects the peace of our nation and the democratic order."
