An absolute nullity ruling has been issued in the case concerning the 38th Ordinary Convention of the CHP. The 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Justice has suspended Özgür Özel, who won the chairmanship election against Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, as a precautionary measure, and ruled for the reinstatement of Kılıçdaroğlu and his administration.
Following the absolute nullity ruling, the pro-government channel CNN Türk used the caption "CHP Manisa MP" for CHP Chairman Özgür Özel while he was delivering a speech.
While this move by CNN Türk drew backlash, the channel's reporter Melike Görür Demirkıran entered the CHP Headquarters.
As Demirkıran was showing that Kılıçdaroğlu's photograph had been taken down, party members chanted "CNN out." Following the warnings, the CNN Türk crew was removed from the CHP Headquarters.
