The Republican People's Party (CHP) had held a member participation ceremony at the Rauf Denktaş Cultural Center in Sarıyer.

Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as a trustee to the CHP İstanbul Provincial Presidency, had filed a criminal complaint following reports that extras were brought in for a fee through casting agencies for the member participation meeting attended by Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had also launched an investigation into the allegations that individuals from a casting agency were brought to the ceremony.

Journalists Timur Soykan and Fatih Altaylı have been summoned to testify at the Istanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan as part of the investigation.
