  • The CHP's Central Yönetim Kurulu (MYK), appointed under a 'null and void' decision, convened under Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

  • New expulsions and dismissals of provincial chairs are anticipated during the meeting.

The Republican People's Party's (CHP) Central Yönetim Kurulu (MYK), which was appointed following a decision declaring its previous state 'mutlak butlan' (absolute nullity), convened on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The meeting, held at the party's headquarters, commenced with a presentation by Kılıçdaroğlu. Key agenda items included discussions on the recent NATO Summit, current economic and political developments in Turkey, and preparations for the party congress, which is slated to begin in September. The MYK is also expected to address revisions concerning the party's organizational structure. A significant focus of the meeting is anticipated to be disciplinary actions against certain provincial chairs, with expectations of new expulsions or dismissals. Furthermore, the MYK is likely to make appointments for positions previously vacated by provincial chairs who were removed by an earlier MYK decision. Müslim Sarı, identified as the spokesperson for the 'butlan' administration, is scheduled to hold a press conference at 5:00 PM at the CHP General Headquarters to provide details on the MYK's agenda.
