The party congress crisis grows, all eyes in the CHP are on September 15: Could Kılıçdaroğlu return? Here are the possible scenarios...
Following the cancellation of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Congress, all eyes are now on the hearing scheduled for September 15. The ruling to be issued in the lawsuit filed over allegations of irregularities regarding the CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress is of great importance for the party's future. If the court rules for "absolute nullity," the current administration will be removed from office, and the former administration and Party Assembly under the leadership of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will return to duty. In this case, Kılıçdaroğlu would be required to take the party to a new congress within a maximum of 1.5 years.

Following the cancellation of the CHP's Istanbul Provincial Congress and the appointment of Gürsel Tekin as trustee, all eyes have turned to the lawsuit filed regarding the 38th Ordinary Convention.
The case at the Ankara 42nd Civil Court of First Instance will be heard on September 15.
CAN KILIÇDAROĞLU RETURN?
According to the report in Sözcü, if the court rules for "absolute nullity," current Chairman Özgür Özel and his administration will be removed from office.
In this case, the party's management would revert to the previous team led by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the Party Assembly (PM).
PROCESS COULD TAKE AT LEAST 90 DAYS
If Kılıçdaroğlu's team returns to office, they would be required to take the party to a convention again.
The process is expected to be completed within a minimum of 90 days and a maximum of 1.5 years following the court's decision.
OBJECTION FROM PARTY MANAGEMENT
The current administration, however, argues that the court does not have the authority to issue such a ruling. These debates within the CHP have intensified as the party approaches the 102nd anniversary of its founding on September 9, 1923.
EXTRAORDINARY CONVENTION ALSO ON THE AGENDA
The cancellation of the 21st Extraordinary Convention, where Özgür Özel was re-elected as chairman, has also been requested.
The plaintiffs claim that the "will of the delegates was compromised" during the 38th Ordinary Convention and are demanding a re-evaluation of the process.
