Pro-government journalist reveals Kılıçdaroğlu's move: CHP will expel Özgür Özel within 1 week

Following the court's decision on absolute nullity, behind-the-scenes claims regarding new developments that may occur within the CHP have come to the fore. Pro-government journalist Sinan Burhan, in his statement during a live broadcast on tv100, alleged that CHP Chairman Özgür Özel will be expelled from the party within a week.

“ÖZGÜR ÖZEL AND HIS TEAM WANT TO BE FORCED INTO EXPULSION FROM THE CHP”

Burhan stated the following:

"Ekrem İmamoğlu gave a new message to Murat Sabuncu. He said: 'We are going to start a new march. We are talking about a new team, a new staff, and a new party plan.' So, how will this new party be established? Under current conditions, it is not possible to establish a new party if Özgür Özel and his team remain in the CHP. Therefore, Özgür Özel and his team want to create a space of legitimacy and face a situation where they are forced to be expelled from the CHP. That is my interpretation. What I mean will be better understood within 1 week."

"CHP WILL EXPEL ÖZEL WITHIN 1 WEEK"

Arguing that a new political restructuring is inevitable, Burhan used the following expressions:

"CHP will expel Özel within 1 week. There is work being done by Özgür Bey's staff and team. I conducted research. I spoke with party officials about these matters, and I spoke with people who provide intellectual contributions to the party. A new party is inevitable. And this party to be established will not be in line with the CHP. İmamoğlu's statement today was interpreted as 'a new march, a new staff, a new struggle.' Let me tell you the information I received in points:"

"CHP WILL EXPEL ÖZEL WITHIN 1 WEEK"

Sinan Burhan:

It is stated that there would be no obstacle for the CHP if the election were held this year, but the issue could be carried to the Constitutional Court if it were held a year later.

Suggesting that the process could take shape by the end of July or the beginning of August, Burhan continued his words as follows:

"At the end of July or the beginning of August, Özgür Özel and his team will join an existing party instead of forming a new one. Özgür Özel and his team will join an existing party instead of forming a new one, as the legal procedure for that would take longer. At the latest, by the end of July or the beginning of August. How will this happen?"

“HE OR HIS TEAM WILL BE EXPELLED”

Claiming that Özel and his team are waiting for the expulsion process within the party, Burhan made the following assessment:

"He or his team will be expelled. Özgür Özel and his team are waiting to be expelled from within the Republican People's Party. In fact, names close to Özgür Özel say: “I wish they would expel us.” Because it is not that easy to leave a main party.

"Right-wing origin deputies within the Republican People's Party do not want the idea of a “new CHP.” They do not want a party that is a continuation of the CHP. What should happen? They want to form a front under the name of a liberal center, Turkey Alliance, or democracy alliance. They think this will not happen with the CHP logo, emblem, and program."
