The ongoing 'controversial congress' case within the CHP has stirred up the corridors of power. While claims arise that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu could return to party leadership, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stated, "This party will never have a trustee appointed, nor will it face annulment."

Discussions about the "suspicious congress" case in the CHP continue. While the possibilities of annulment or the appointment of a trustee are being discussed, the potential return of former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is also among the hot topics on the agenda.

KILIÇDAROĞLU HAS NOT TURNED HIS BACK ON THE PARTY

Recently, it was claimed that Kılıçdaroğlu told his close circle that if the congress is canceled, "The party must be managed, we cannot run away." Although Kılıçdaroğlu denied these statements, comments are being made that he has not turned his back on the party.

"IF YOU NOTICE, I AM NOT DISCUSSING THIS AT ALL"

Özel emphasized that he does not want to open the topic for discussion, stating, "No negative decision will come out regarding the congress. This is a case focused on process, not results. It is aimed at opening the CHP for discussion. If you notice, I am not discussing this at all. Because when it is talked about, it achieves its purpose. The issue is not about someone coming to the head of the party, but the discussion of this possibility. This party will never have a trustee appointed, nor will annulment come. What will happen is this: It will be postponed, and the party will continue to be discussed. Therefore, the right thing is not to discuss it," he stated.
