The Republican People's Party (CHP) decided to continue with leader Özgür Özel following the 21st Extraordinary Congress held last Sunday.
In his speech at the congress, Özel announced that they would hold a rally in a different district of Istanbul every Wednesday. It was announced that the first rally would be held in Şişli, but the time and exact location have not yet been finalized.
Özgür Özel also announced a target of collecting 30 million signatures for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who has been removed from office and is currently detained. He also stated that they would take to the field for an early election.
In addition to these regular rallies in Istanbul, the CHP will also hold a major rally in İzmir on May 19. The party, which plans to hold a rally in a different province every weekend, aims to accelerate its political activities with these events.
