Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel said the party has formally appealed the court's "absolute nullity" ruling regarding the CHP congress case and requested the suspension of interim measures ordering the removal of the current party leadership.
Speaking after the Ankara Regional Court of Justice ruled that the CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress and 21st Extraordinary Congress were legally invalid, Özel said the party submitted its first appeal to the Court of Cassation within the required legal timeframe.
"Today, we made our first objection to the Court of Cassation within the legal deadline, including a request for the removal of the interim injunction decision," Özel said.
He also announced that the CHP would apply to the Supreme Election Council (YSK) on Friday to defend the party mandate granted by the election authority.
"We will apply to the Supreme Election Council tomorrow so that it protects the certificate of mandate it granted to us," Özel said, calling on both the Court of Cassation and the YSK to act swiftly regarding the party's appeals against the interim measures.
