The claim that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will meet with Ekrem İmamoğlu for the congress.

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stated regarding the "convention debate" made by some CHP deputies on social media, "As the Chairman of CHP, I am ending this debate. From now on, no CHP member should occupy the party and the public with such inward-looking agendas."

Despite Özel's statements, it has been learned that the intra-party opposition aims to hold the convention before January 1. According to a report on Ekol TV, there is intense visitor traffic at the working office opened by former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in Ankara due to demands for a convention.

ACTIVITY IN CHP CONVENTION

With the intra-party opposition's demand for an extraordinary convention, the backstage has become active in CHP. Following the increase in criticisms, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel also wanted the convention discussions to come to an end. However, as the discussions did not subside, the Central Headquarters brought the ordinary convention process to the agenda this time.

CONVENTION MEASURES FROM THE CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS

According to the CHP statute, the congress calendar for the ordinary convention can be initiated from January 1. After the congress calendar is announced, no requests for an extraordinary convention can be made. The congress calendar can be extended up to 2 years.

VISITOR TRAFFIC AT KILIÇDAROĞLU'S OFFICE

Despite these calculations, the intra-party opposition aims to hold the extraordinary convention before January 1. In addition to deputies close to Kılıçdaroğlu, party members and delegates who are uncomfortable with Özgür Özel's administration are also visiting Kılıçdaroğlu's working office intensively these days. Whether Kılıçdaroğlu will take action for the convention request will become clear in the coming days.

EXPECTATIONS OF THE INTRA-PARTY OPPOSITION REGARDING İMAMOĞLU

On the other hand, while groups led by deputies continue to hold meetings with delegates, it is expected that Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu will meet with Kılıçdaroğlu in the coming days. The intra-party opposition, which believes that no results can be achieved in the convention without İmamoğlu's support, is also waiting for İmamoğlu's stance to become clear.

DOES İMAMOĞLU WANT A CONVENTION?

While the discussions continue, the stance of İBB President Ekrem İmamoğlu regarding whether he wants a convention has become a matter of curiosity. Former CHP Deputy Barış Yarkadaş stated in a television program that, according to backstage information, İmamoğlu's opinion on this matter is clear. Yarkadaş conveyed that İmamoğlu said regarding the signature debate circulating in the media, "These discussions harm the party. A person who wants a convention is not my comrade, period."
