EYES ON THE CRITICAL PROCESS IN CHP
While the absolute nullity debates, the convention crisis, and the management struggle continue within the party, the latest developments have led to interpretations that the tension in CHP has further escalated.
The scuffle in front of the headquarters and the extraordinary security measures taken around Kılıçdaroğlu's house have stirred up political circles. CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu had answered questions from press members in front of his residence for the first time after the absolute nullity decision. Kılıçdaroğlu stated, "There was a new development this morning. Good luck with Mr. Özgür's new duty. Mr. Özgür was supposed to consult with his friends and get back to me. There has been no response yet. In this process, we need to avoid rhetoric that divides the base. I am using very careful language. All friends should stay away from rhetoric that divides the base. We are a deep-rooted party. We must protect our roots and our morality."
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Ankara Regional Court of Appeal issued a decision of absolute nullity for CHP. It was decided to cancel the 38th Ordinary Convention of CHP held on November 4-5, 2023.
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, along with members of the Central Executive Board and High Disciplinary Board, were ordered to be suspended from duty. The court also decided that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, members of the Party Assembly, and High Disciplinary Board should temporarily assume duties. With the cancellation of the convention, all ordinary and extraordinary conventions held after that date and the decisions taken also became invalid.
WHAT WAS SAID IN THE COURT DECISION?
In the decision of the 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Appeal, it was stated, "The temporary suspension from duty of Chairman Özgür Özel, who came to office through the convention dated November 4-5, 2023, which is tainted with absolute nullity, the members of the Central Executive Board, the members of the Party Assembly, and the members of the High Disciplinary Board, and the provisional assumption of duties and reinstatement of Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, along with the members of the Party Assembly and High Disciplinary Board who were in office before the convention dated November 4-5, 2023, until the decision is finalized."
