The congress process is planned to begin in October, with provincial congresses to be completed by the end of April, and the grand congress to be held in May 2025. According to reports from behind the scenes, the "change" expectations that came to the agenda in the period following the local elections will also be met with the congress.
TO BE HANDED OVER TO THE YOUTH
According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi; President Erdoğan is expected to make significant changes in both provincial-district administrations and party management alongside the congresses. It is stated that Erdoğan will make changes to the MKYK, especially taking the 2028 elections into account, and will form the party's public face from younger staff.
President Erdoğan has previously opted to change more than 50 percent of his existing staff during both congress and election processes. According to AKP sources, a higher rate of change is considered certain in the upcoming congress.
