CHP Uşak Central District Chairman Uğur Dümen and the members of the board resigned from their positions, citing the developments during the neighborhood delegate election process as the reason.

COULD NOT WITHSTAND PRESSURE AND THREATS

Announcing the development with a written statement, Dümen said, "Members were directed without the knowledge of our organizations and under pressure. Employees were forced to vote under the threat of dismissal, and the ballots cast were collected against signatures. These pressures and threats are documented with video recordings and testimonies."

PARTY MEMBERS WERE ATTACKED, ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO FORCEFULLY ENTER THE POLLING AREA

Dümen stated that party members were attacked during the delegate elections, attempts were made to forcibly enter the polling area, abusive assaults occurred, and the police had to intervene.

"WE ARE DETERMINED TO PROTECT OUR PARTY'S INDEPENDENCE AND OUR DEMOCRACY"

Dümen, who stated that "the roots of the Republican People's Party are being disregarded," continued his remarks as follows: "Interference in elections through methods such as dismissal, hiring, and making non-party members members is in direct contradiction to our party's principles. We will not bow to these methods. We are determined to protect the honor of our organization, the independence of our party, and our democracy. In Uşak, courage will prevail over fear, and the true will of the organization will prevail over threats."

PARTY MEMBERSHIPS WILL CONTINUE

Furthermore, Dümen announced that they only resigned from the Central District Chairmanship and the board membership, and that their party memberships will continue.
