The new management cadres formed following the personnel changes in CHP provincial presidencies continue to be debated in the public eye.
Following the dismissal of 26 provincial chairs, a notable name appeared among the appointments made to the CHP Ankara Provincial Executive Board. Onur Yusuf Üregen, the lawyer for former Hatay Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Lütfü Savaş, who filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of the 38th Ordinary Congress, was appointed as a member of the Ankara Provincial Executive Board.
HIS REMARKS IN THE CONGRESS LAWSUIT ARE BACK ON THE AGENDA
During the hearing for the lawsuit regarding the cancellation of the congress, Onur Yusuf Üregen had used the phrase "organized crime activity" in reference to the CHP administration.
PHOTOS WITH SEDAT PEKER HAD SURFACED
Photos of Üregen taken with organized crime leader Sedat Peker had also previously surfaced in the public domain.
CHP Group Deputy Chair Murat Emir had alleged that Üregen attempted to remove the photo in question from the internet.
Partimizin kurultayına yönelik açılan kumpas davasında, bugünkü celsede; Genel Başkanımızı, Cumhurbaşkanı adayımızı ve tertemiz partimizi hedef alan sözler sarf eden Avukat Onur Yusuf Üregen’in kim olduğuna dikkat çekmek istiyorum.

APPOINTMENT IN ÇANAKKALE ALSO DREW ATTENTION
Another notable appointment in the CHP was made in Çanakkale.
During the term of former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Koray Akkuş was appointed to the Çanakkale Provincial Presidency, replacing Levent Gürbüz. Akkuş had resigned from his party and joined the IYI Party after not being nominated by the CHP before the March 31 Local Elections, and there were assessments at the time that the CHP lost the elections during this process.
