CHP disciplinary body gathers for first time after convention ruling
A court-appointed disciplinary board of the main opposition party convened for the first time on June 4, days after a ruling nullified the party’s 38th ordinary convention and reinstated former leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
The High Disciplinary Board of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) held its inaugural meeting under the new administration structure. The session was opened by Kılıçdaroğlu, who returned to the party’s leadership following the court’s “absolute nullity” ruling that invalidated the 2023 vote.
During the meeting, CHP lawmaker Mahir Polat was elected chairman of the 15-member board. Reports said future meetings could address requests for expulsions and other proceedings as the party grapples with a deepening leadership feud.
The board’s first meeting came amid escalating tensions between Kılıçdaroğlu and ousted CHP leader Özgür Özel following the court ruling.
