It was learned that CHP Chairman Özgür Özel will follow a new strategy in his political activities following the absolute nullity decision against the CHP. Accordingly, Özel will focus on programs where he will establish one-on-one contact with citizens through visits to tradesmen, marketplaces, and coffeehouses instead of large-scale rallies. In this context, he plans to hold public meetings in various provinces and districts.
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel is preparing for a new phase in fieldwork following recent political developments. After evaluations with party officials, it was stated that Özel will prioritize programs allowing direct contact with citizens rather than large rallies.
Within this framework, the CHP leader is expected to increase provincial and district visits, listen to citizens' problems on-site, and meet with various segments of society more frequently.
WILL FOCUS ON SHOP AND MARKET VISITS
It is noted that Özel will focus particularly on shop visits, marketplace gatherings, and coffeehouse programs in the upcoming period. The CHP leader is said to listen to economic issues during these visits and directly take note of citizens' expectations and demands.
Party sources evaluate that face-to-face contact will be more effective for political communication, while Özel will also frequently meet with youth and civil society representatives.
ANKARA AND DENİZLİ VISITS DREW ATTENTION
Özgür Özel's recent programs in Ankara Ulus and Denizli were interpreted as the first steps of the new strategy. During these visits, the CHP leader chatted with shopkeepers, listened to citizens' views on the agenda, and made assessments on many issues, particularly economic hardships.
It was learned that the party administration plans to continue similar visits in different regions of Turkey.
WILL TAKE TO THE FIELD IN BURDUR
It was stated that the CHP Chairman will have an intensive schedule in Burdur tomorrow as part of his field programs. Özel is expected to make various visits in the districts of Yeşilova, Çavdır, Çeltikçi, and Bucak, as well as in Burdur city center.
The program is expected to include shop visits, citizen meetings, and discussions with local representatives.
DIRECT CONTACT WITH CITIZENS TARGETED
The CHP leadership is considered to aim at explaining party policies in the field rather than on platforms in the upcoming period. Therefore, Özgür Özel is intended to be more visible in areas where citizens are in daily life and to listen to problems on-site, instead of large organizations.
Party sources state that this method will both strengthen ties with voters and contribute to faster analysis of requests coming from the field.
