The AKP could take over the CHP in a few days

The CHP is preparing to hold its Statute Congress on September 6-7-8, 2024.

A requirement for primary elections and term limits are being introduced for the party's presidential, parliamentary, mayoral, and provincial chair candidates.

This is an extremely correct regulation...

It means that the shame of having candidates determined by a few people at the headquarters will finally come to an end!

However, there is one more regulation that requires careful consideration.

That is, the CHP Chairman being elected not by the party convention delegates, but by the members themselves...

You may recall; this proposal was first brought to the agendaby Muharrem İnce during his candidacy for the CHP chairmanship.

The Court of CassationAccording to the latest data released this year in January , the political parties with the highest number of members in our country are as follows:

AKP: 11 million 241 thousand 230

CHP: 1 million 369 thousand 430

İYİ Party: 617 thousand 513

MHP: 464 thousand 092

Democrat Party: 364 thousand 444

Yeniden Refah: 269,391

Saadet Party: 265,738

BBP: 119,237

Future Party: 76,182

Victory Party: 25,535

Homeland Party: 25,132

According to this data the AKP compared to the previous year 199 thousand members has lost...

In the IYI Partythis number is 108 thousand 935 has happened.

I am certain that these numbers have increased even further since the last local elections.

Again, according to previous data, the CHP's membership count is 59,370,

and the MHP's membership count is 22,804 people have increased.

2023 The party that increased its membership the most in Fatih Erbakan’s leadership, the New Welfare Party (Yeniden Refah Partisi)… The New Welfare Party, which registered a total of 96,376 new members, 269,391 the number of members, which was 365,767has risen to...

Let's say that at the Bylaw Amendment Congress... The regulation for the CHP Chairmanto be elected by the members rather than the delegates has been accepted...

An "operation party" like the AKPcould, with a single directive, in a few days 2 million people resign and Who can guarantee that they will not join the CHPas a "Trojan Horse" and determine the new Chairman?

No one...

Thus; the party currently in first place Could the reins of theCHP not fall directly into the hands of AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan?Well, is there even one person among you

who would say, “My dear, you are exaggerating; neither the AKP nor Erdoğan would resort to such a path”? I don't think so...

I doubt it...

If one does emerge, rest assured they are also trying to deceive us!

*** 

I have heard that some members of theBylaws Commission want not only theChairman, but also candidates for president, parliament, mayor, and provincial chair to be elected by all members...

I am not against pluralistic democracy.

However, in a period dominated by a sharia-minded mentality that views democracy as a "tool" to transition into a totalitarian regime, doing this for the CHP would mean suicide.

With a campaign conducted behind closed doors, the necessary number of AKP members in exchange for small rewards (!) From the AKPto the CHP. They could switchto the CHP.

Some naiveexecutive friends in the CHP might even declare this "influx of new members"a victory and celebrate.

But this...

Atatürk's party CHPmeans nothing other than its occupation by reactionary forces.

*** 

I know for a fact that the AKPsome foxes within are currently lying in wait, CHPwaiting for this upcoming party charter amendment.

The only way to disappoint them is to take precautions against this insidious operation and to require that those who will vote to determine the candidates be CHPmembers who have beenmembers for at least five years.

If this critical change is made without such precautions, solely for the sake of appearing more democratic, have no doubt that the CHP, from that moment on, will become the AKCHP! And in the first elections to be held,

the new members of the CHP will determine their presidential candidatein a way that serves the AKP's interests. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan decides that it should happen!

I hope Chairman Özgür Özel sees this risk.
