Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu called on party members to respond calmly after the court's "absolute nullity" ruling regarding the CHP congress case, saying the party would resolve its internal issues on its own.
"All party members should receive the decision calmly. Our party will solve its problems internally," Kılıçdaroğlu said in his first statement following the court ruling.
In a statement shared on social media, Kılıçdaroğlu said CHP was not "an arena for personal political ambitions" but rather "the certificate of sovereignty of the nation."
Referring to the court's ruling on the contested congress, Kılıçdaroğlu said, "The court's decision regarding our 38th Ordinary Congress should not become a reason for division, but an opportunity to unite under the shade of our century-old plane tree."
He urged party members to avoid escalating tensions, saying, "Today is not a day to hurt one another with cries of celebration. It is a day to set aside grievances and rise again with seriousness, calm and mutual embrace."
