  • Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, appointed CHP leader by court order, made an early contact with TGRT Haber, a media outlet known for its proximity to the ruling party.
  • TGRT Haber Ankara Representative Fatih Atik shared a photo with Kılıçdaroğlu on social media, announcing their meeting.
  • This interaction marks one of Kılıçdaroğlu's initial engagements following his court-appointed leadership of the main opposition party.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was appointed as the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP) by court order following a decision of "absolute nullity" in the case of the party's 38th Ordinary Congress, has made an early move to engage with media outlets close to the government.

Fatih Atik, TGRT Haber's Ankara Representative, announced on his social media account that he had met with Kılıçdaroğlu, accompanying the statement with a photograph of the two together. This interaction signifies one of Kılıçdaroğlu's first public engagements since assuming the party leadership through a judicial decision.

The move is notable as TGRT Haber is known for its alignment with the ruling party, suggesting a strategic effort by Kılıçdaroğlu to broaden his party's outreach or to signal a willingness to engage across the political spectrum, even with outlets traditionally critical of the CHP.
