CHP MYK convened under the chairmanship of leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to assess the national agenda and internal party developments. Party spokesperson Müslim Sarı announced that CHP municipalities had been instructed to clean schools and provide students with one meal for the new academic year. Sarı said the appeal filed with the Court of Cassation in the “absolute nullity” case had been withdrawn to ensure that congresses and conventions were held openly and transparently, free from legal disputes, and that the other plaintiffs had also withdrawn their cases. Sarı said there were no longer any legal obstacles to the congresses and convention, adding that they expected the decision to become final in approximately 1-1.5 months. Sarı also denied claims that CHP had held talks with Yenilik Partisi, saying that no party official had engaged in formal or informal contact.
Why it matters
The withdrawal of the appeal clears the way for CHP’s congress and convention schedule to proceed through the party’s internal organizational process rather than a legal dispute. However, because the decision has not yet become final, the completion of the legal process must be awaited over the next 1-1.5 months. The instruction to municipalities to clean schools and provide one meal directs local governments toward meeting students’ needs as the academic year begins; the statement does not specify the scope or resources of the initiative. The denial of claims of contact with Yenilik Partisi clarifies the CHP leadership’s official position while leaving open the question of what information the claims were based on. The fact that all the information is based on the party spokesperson’s statement following the MYK meeting also shows that the developments are being presented from the CHP leadership’s own perspective.
