Kılıçdaroğlu unveils new party brass amid internal rift at CHP
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the reinstated leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), has unveiled his new administration amid an ongoing internal rift.
Müslim Sarı, newly appointed by Kılıçdaroğlu as party spokesman, announced the management team’s composition during a press conference on June 2. The new leadership roster will consist of 19 members, Sarı said, adding that the economy, foreign policy and elections will be managed directly by the chairman, who will appoint dedicated advisers for these missions.
According to Sarı, lawmaker Rıfat Nalbantoğlu will serve as the party’s secretary-general, while Bülent Kuşoğlu will handle financial and administrative affairs. Sarı himself will take charge of local governments, with Berhan Şimşek overseeing culture and arts policies.
The new executive board held its first meeting late on June 2 under the leadership of Kılıçdaroğlu. There was no statement afterwards.
