After the CHP headquarters initiated dismissal operations targeting organizations, tensions have escalated at the Nigde Provincial Directorate. Teyfik Caymaz, appointed to Nigde by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the chairmanship through a court decision, and his administration were not allowed into the provincial building when they went there with police escort for the handover. As the dismissed elected provincial administration and party members refused to leave the building and set up barricades, the appointed delegation had to step back in its initial move.
The waters are not settling in the CHP Niğde Provincial Organization. After Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reinstated as the general chairman by a court decision, appointed Teyfik Caymaz as the Niğde Provincial Chairman, tensions rose at the party building. Accompanied by police protection to take over the duty, Caymaz and the new management team faced stiff resistance from the current elected management and party members.
THEY CAME WITH POLICE ESCORT
The current provincial management, who came to office through elections, and their supporters strictly refused to allow the "trustee" team appointed by the headquarters to enter the building. As the verbal argument between the parties escalated and the risk of a scuffle arose, numerous backup police teams were dispatched to the scene. Despite the heavy security measures taken by the security forces, the elected management, who refused to back down, did not leave the building. Faced with this determined resistance, Teyfik Caymaz and his team had to leave the area without entering the provincial building.
During the argument, the parties were heard calling each other "Traitor" and "You are the real traitor," with occasional profanity.
"THEY TURNED BACK WITHOUT LOOKING BEHIND"
While the tense moments in and around the party building were captured on camera, CHP Party Assembly Member Erhan Adem, who shared the footage on his social media account, supported the elected management by saying, "The trustee team that came to our Niğde provincial building turned back without looking behind." Amidst this major crisis in the organization, it was learned that Özgür Özel will make a critical visit to Niğde on Sunday, July 13, at 11:00 AM.
26 PROVINCIAL CHAIRMEN WERE DISMISSED

Among those affected by this operation and removed from their seats is CHP Niğde Provincial Chairman Bünyamin Kıvrakdal, who was supported by the organization.
