The 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Justice has issued an "absolute nullity" ruling regarding the CHP convention case.
According to the ruling, Özgür Özel and his administration, who enabled the CHP to become the leading party after 47 years, are suspended from duty as a precautionary measure, while Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his administration are set to return to office.
The CHP stated, "We do not recognize this ruling," and the Central Executive Board (MYK) convened for an emergency meeting.
