The first hearing of the lawsuit filed over allegations of irregularities at the CHP Congress took place on June 30. Prison sentences of up to 3 years are being sought for 12 people, including Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and the dismissed President of the Union of Municipalities of Turkey, Ekrem İmamoğlu.
In the indictment, former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is listed as the "victim," Lütfü Savaş as the "complainant," and İmamoğlu as the "defendant." However, no decision was reached at the June 30 hearing, and the case was adjourned to September 15.
CHP CONGRESS CALENDARMOVED FORWARDWhile the legal process was ongoing, the CHP Headquarters made a remarkable decision.
The party administration took steps to accelerate the extraordinary congress process and complete it by the end of the year.This decision was interpreted in political circles as a move to "leave the debates behind and re-consolidate legitimacy."Journalist Nuray Babacan drew attention to new assessments coming from within the AKP in her article published in Nefes Gazetesi.Babacan stated, "We see that the comments made and the meaning attributed to the CHP case in political circles have changed significantly in the last two months.The correct steps taken by the CHP administration have been effective.However, the main reason is that the government's expectation of gaining political benefit from this process has now disappeared."The party administration took steps to accelerate the extraordinary congress process and complete it by the end of the year.The party administration took steps to accelerate the extraordinary congress process and complete it by the end of the year.The party administration took steps to accelerate the extraordinary congress process and complete it by the end of the year.

"THIS PATH WOULD MAKE ALL ELECTION PROCESSES A MATTER FOR THE COURTS"
Another assessment voiced in government corridors concerned the political risks created by the legal process. Babacan shared the information that, "In the AKP, comments are being made such as, 'This case means opening all election processes to judicial oversight. A path that could put political parties and the system in a difficult position may have been opened.'"
Adding a striking note about the future of the process at the end of her article, Babacan used the expression, "Unless a last-minute operation is carried out, it seems the wind has started to blow from another direction."
