The CHP has reached the end of the district rallies it launched in Istanbul in 2025. According to the party's roadmap, once the actions carried out in all districts are completed, the CHP is preparing to make a significant change in its form of struggle. Party officials reported that in this new period, both the CHP Headquarters and the newly established Presidential Candidacy Office will conduct active field work.

In the coming period, the CHP will appear before the public with a new Government Program, prepared by teams within the Presidential Candidacy Office, which contains concrete and diverse promises. From now on, not only party executives but also members of the candidacy office will take part in field activities.

According to information obtained from CHP sources, party leader Özgür Özel will take a more active role in the field to establish direct contact with citizens. Following the conclusion of the rallies in Istanbul's 39 districts, Özel will regularly visit markets and bazaars.

The party also aims to expand its action program across the city to other cities as it nears the end of the rallies it has held every Wednesday in different districts of Istanbul to date. From now on, it is planned to organize one or two major rallies per week across the country. The CHP will focus its activities particularly on provinces where political competition is intense and where the AKP is strong.

On the other hand, the CHP will also organize special programs for the anniversary of the earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023. In this context, it was reported that Özgür Özel and a delegation from the Presidential Candidacy Office will be present in the six provinces affected by the earthquake. Within the framework of the program, Özel is expected to visit Osmaniye and Gaziantep on February 3, and hold his group meeting in Kahramanmaraş on February 4. Subsequently, Hatay will be visited on February 5, Adıyaman on February 6, and Malatya and Niğde on February 7.

In parallel with the approaching election process, the CHP has completed the assignments of the teams within the Presidential Candidacy Office. The goal is to convey the developed promises and new policy proposals directly to the public. New units created within the office will take to the field with solutions and project presentations, specifically addressing the question of "How will the CHP manage the state's critical institutions?"

It is emphasized that with the new strategy, the party's campaign atmosphere will gain momentum and direct contact with different segments of society will be increased.
