KARAMOLLAOĞLU: THEY DECLARED US TRAITORS

Speaking at the congress, Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu stated, "Those who shook hands with Netanyahu declared us traitors by saying they shook hands with Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu."

2 AK PARTY MEMBERS LEFT THE HALL

Following Karamollaoğlu's remarks, a group in the hall reacted to the AK Party by chanting slogans, and after the noise escalated, AK Party Deputy Chairman Mustafa Elitaş and Deputy Chairman Ali İhsan Yavuz were forced to leave the hall.

THE RACE FOR THE PRESIDENCY CONTINUES

According to the Saadet Party's Statute, to be eligible to run for the presidency, a candidate must be nominated by at least fifteen percent of the total number of delegates at the grand congress. This means that each candidate must obtain the signatures of approximately 200 delegates to be eligible.
