WHEN IS THE CHP PRIMARY?

CHP members will have the opportunity to directly elect the presidential candidate by going to the polls on Sunday, March 23. This practice, which will be carried out for the first time in the party's history, will be open to the participation of all members as a democratic process.

HOW WILL THE PRIMARY BE CONDUCTED?

The primary election calendar and method determined by the Central Executive Board (MYK) will be optimized to make it easier for members to participate in the process. This process will ensure that the party determines its candidate with a more participatory and transparent approach.

Özgür Özel, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, and Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş met yesterday to evaluate the 'presidential candidate' agenda. Following the meeting, which lasted approximately 3 hours, Özel shared a photo on his social media account with the message, "We are together. We will be together. We will win together. Turkey will win."

According to information obtained, Yavaş, whose participation in the primary was a matter of curiosity, personally explained his decision to Özel and İmamoğlu during the meeting. Yavaş stated that he was not against the primary but that he would not participate in this process himself.
