CHP convention dispute set to move to court
A dispute within the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) over an extraordinary convention is expected to move to court this week, as supporters of Group Chair Özgür Özel seek a legal step against the party leadership.
The process follows an appeals court ruling that removed Özel and his management from party leadership and returned former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his team to office on an interim basis.
Özel’s camp had submitted 833 signatures collected from delegates to the CHP headquarters, demanding an extraordinary convention.
The group had given the party leadership 10 days to act on the request. That period expired on June 26.
