Key CHP session hangs amid counter-moves by rival blocs
Parallel leadership camps within the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) are preparing competing moves ahead of a weekly meeting in parliament on June 16, deepening a crisis triggered by a court ruling that reinstated former Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his administration.
According to the daily Milliyet, Kılıçdaroğlu is considering appointing replacements for Ali Mahir Başarır and Gökhan Günaydın after requests for their expulsion removed them from their positions as the party’s deputy parliamentary leaders.
The positions are considered critical to organizing and managing the CHP’s weekly group meetings in parliament.
Party sources cited by Milliyet said Kılıçdaroğlu has not yet made a final decision on whether he will personally address the gathering.
