CHP's new executive board includes surprising name

Adnan Demirci, a former CHP Mamak district head and candidate for mayor, has been appointed as the Deputy Chairman responsible for Trade Unions and NGOs within the party's Central Executive Board (MYK). The list of MYK members was announced by the new party spokesperson, Müslim Sarı, following Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's appointment as CHP leader by court order.

Demirci's inclusion in the MYK list has caused surprise among some party members. This comes after Demirci publicly addressed social media speculation about his stance on the upcoming party congress. He stated that his name was being circulated among delegates expected to vote against the congress without his knowledge or consent.

“

As a politician who has always come to every position I have held in politics through election and pre-election processes, it is out of the question for me to vote against a congress that will emerge stronger with the unity and solidarity of our party.

In a social media post prior to the MYK appointments, Demirci clarified his position: "As a politician who has always come to every position I have held in politics through election and pre-election processes, it is out of the question for me to vote against a congress that will emerge stronger with the unity and solidarity of our party." He emphasized that his political struggle is focused on removing the AKP government, not on internal party conflicts.

His statement was met with supportive comments from party members, who affirmed his loyalty and commitment. The CHP's website has since updated the MYK section, reflecting these changes. Demirci's appointment signals a move to integrate figures with experience in local governance and organizational outreach into the party's leadership structure.

My political struggle is to save our country from the AKP government.
