Due to the cancellation of the Istanbul Provincial Congress, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel convened the Central Executive Board (MYK) in an extraordinary session and stated that Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik is still in office. Özel said, "We have expelled Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as a trustee, from the party. We will expel anyone who accepts the position."

After the court decision to annul the CHP Istanbul Provincial Congress, Özgür Özel stated that Özgür Çelik is still in office, saying, "We expelled Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as a trustee, from the party. We will expel anyone who accepts the position from the party."
GÜRSEL TEKİN APPOINTED AS TRUSTEE FOR CHP ISTANBUL
The CHP Istanbul Provincial Congress was annulled by court decision. İl President Özgür Çelik was removed from office along with his administration, and Gürsel Tekin was appointed as a trustee.
ÖZEL: ÖZGÜR ÇELİK IS STILL IN OFFICE
Following the decision, the first statement came from CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who was in the spotlight. Özel, who participated in a live broadcast on Halk TV, said they expelled Gürsel Tekin from the party. Özel stated: Özgür Çelik is our Istanbul Provincial Chairman. He is still in office and continues his duties.
"WE EXPELLED GÜRSEL TEKİN"
We expelled the person from the party whom we understood would accept the position from the appointed trustee committee, regardless of their name. His party membership ends the moment the decision is made. We referred him to the High Disciplinary Board in a precautionary manner and expelled him from the party.
"WE WILL EXPEL ANYONE WHO ACCEPTS THE POSITION"
This could be Gürsel Tekin or someone else. We do not know the statements of the other four friends who said, "I will take on the duty," regarding this palace order and judicial conspiracy, but they are party members we closely monitor, who have previously served as district chairpersons. If they say, "We accept the position," they will also be expelled.
"THEY GOT IT ON THE 10TH TRY"
This was the 10th attempt. Let me summarize it as they got it on the 10th try. There are six cases in Ankara and four in Istanbul. This case is a combination of the four cases. A case is ongoing in Ankara, which is a combination of six cases. I was aware of the decision. They are applying to the Civil Courts and saying, "Cancel the Istanbul Provincial Congress" or "Cancel the CHP's convention" and "Issue a precautionary decision." In other words, they want to remove those in office without even seeing the court. Until today, the presidents of nine different Civil Courts have rejected this.
The reason is as follows; in fact, legal experts explain this issue like this. "A precautionary decision cannot be made in this case because it directly produces results. Now, you are requesting the removal of the administration with a justification, or rather, you are requesting the cancellation of the congress held. If it is canceled, the administration will be removed. You are saying, 'Cancel it from the first day without doing this.'" This was rejected by nine courts. They succeeded on the 10th. Today, someone named Akın Gürlek is trying to do the 11th with a consolidation decision.
So he is saying, "Finally, you succeeded. I am also taking my position in the process," and in his own way, as the main villain, he is aware of this evil. Therefore, the person at the top is aware. We were dealing with you under the orders and directives of Mr. Erdoğan. Finally, we found a civil court that could accept this much lawlessness." and today he is celebrating.
"WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE DECISION"
Since they could not find such a judge in Ankara, they had a judge in Istanbul issue this decision. This situation is completely a state of lawlessness in terms of the legal system, so we will apply to the Constitutional Court for a precautionary request regarding this situation. We will do all of these one by one.
