As the case regarding the CHP congress, which Turkey is locked into, begins, the complainant Lütfü Savaş's lawyer Onur Yusuf Üregen stated, "Özgür Özel must be urgently removed from his position. Until a final decision is made, authority should be granted to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The irregularities subject to this case are a matter of national security. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu should be called to duty with absolute nullity."

The eyes of the Republican People's Party are on the trial of the convention case to be held today. The new hearing in the case filed for the annulment of the convention is being held at the Ankara 42nd Civil Court of First Instance.
SAVAŞ AND KILIÇDAROĞLU DID NOT ATTEND THE HEARING
The complainant of the case, Lütfü Savaş, and the victim, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, did not attend the hearing. In the hearing, Lütfü Savaş's lawyer, Onur Yusuf Üregen, requested the annulment of the convention and the temporary removal of Özgür Özel's administration, which he referred to as "Illegitimate Chairman."
"MANY DELEGATES HAVE BEEN BRIBED WITH CASH"
Lawyer Üregen listed his requests in court as follows: "We object to the requests for intervention by the PM members; it aims to prolong the trial. An oral hearing should be held. The file is sufficient for a decision. The convention is absolutely void due to the impartiality of the convention chairman, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Numerous crimes have been committed with the involvement of many perpetrators to ensure Özgür Özel's victory under the coordination of the convention chairman, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Many delegates were bribed with cash at the convention. There is an ongoing investigation by the prosecutor's office regarding this matter.
"PRESSURE WAS APPLIED ON KILIÇDAROĞLU TO WITHDRAW HIS CANDIDACY"
This situation is confirmed by the Criminal Court's decision of lack of jurisdiction. Pressure was applied to delegates at the convention. It was stated that those who do not support Özgür Özel would be dismissed. The 3-hour period specified in the regulations was not adhered to. Organized pressure was exerted on Kılıçdaroğlu to withdraw his candidacy, and false information was spread that he had withdrawn, thus distorting the will of the delegates and the convention. The chairman intervened in the vote counting process. A perception was created that Özgür Özel would win.
"THE EXTRAORDINARY CONVENTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED NULL AND VOID"
In cases of interference with the will, the provisions of the Political Parties Law M.21/10-11 should be evaluated outside of the context, and the Turkish Civil Code and the Associations Law should be applied. The decision for the CHP extraordinary convention dated April 6, 2025, was made by an unauthorized Chairman. If this case is accepted, the extraordinary convention should also be considered null and void. The extraordinary convention was held with the aim of committing fraud against the law.
"THE IRREGULARITIES IN THIS CASE ARE A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE"
The venue where the extraordinary convention was held is unsuitable. At this convention, the Illegitimate Chairman staged a scene to save himself. As stated by the CHP Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel, an unelected person cannot manage the party. Özgür Özel should be urgently removed from office. We request that authority be granted to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu until the decision is finalized. The irregularities in this case are a national security issue. A decision of absolute nullity should be made. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the previous decision-making bodies should be called to duty.
