Active days are being experienced in the Republican People's Party (CHP). While Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş announced that he would not be a candidate in the primary election, an investigation had been launched regarding the party congress where Özgür Özel was elected chairman.
Following these developments, the CHP Party Assembly convened with an early election agenda. The Party Assembly meeting was held behind closed doors at the CHP headquarters at 12:30 PM.
It was learned that during the meeting, Chairman Özgür Özel provided information regarding his discussions with Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş.
