Following a court ruling that declared its 38th Ordinary Congress invalid, Turkey's Republican People's Party (CHP) convened its High Disciplinary Board (YDK) for its inaugural meeting. The session, which commenced at 1 p.m. under the chairmanship of the board's eldest member, Garip ErdoฤŸan, focused on electing new leadership for the crucial disciplinary body.

Mahir Polat emerged as the new Chairman of the YDK. Ahmet Ersen ร–zsoy was appointed Vice Chairman, and Sezgin Kaya took on the role of Secretary. The board, a key component of the CHP's internal governance, is comprised of 15 permanent members.

The YDK holds significant authority within the party, responsible for conducting disciplinary investigations into members accused of violating party principles, program, or statutes. Its future agenda is expected to include deliberations on potential expulsions and other disciplinary proceedings, making the election of its leadership a critical step for the party's internal affairs.
