Is there a disagreement within Kılıçdaroğlu's team? Allegations of information being leaked to Özgür Özel
It has been alleged that a "security detail crisis" is unfolding within the team of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reinstated as CHP Chairman following a court ruling of "absolute nullity." AKP member Şamil Tayyar claimed that there was a request to replace certain security personnel over suspicions that they were leaking information to Özgür Özel, but that this request was withdrawn after Kılıçdaroğlu's lawyer, Celal Çelik, intervened.

A new development has been added to the events unfolding in the CHP following the absolute nullity ruling. It is alleged that a disagreement has emerged within the working team of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reinstated as chairman by court order, this time regarding his security detail.
The allegations were brought to the agenda by a social media post from AKP member Şamil Tayyar.
SUSPICION OF "INFORMATION LEAKING" RAISED
In his post, Şamil Tayyar claimed that some members of Kılıçdaroğlu's security team had been replaced previously, while some guards had continued in their roles from the Özgür Özel era.
Tayyar alleged that some figures in Kılıçdaroğlu's inner circle suspect that certain personnel in the security detail are passing information to the CHP's elected Chairman, Özgür Özel, and his team.
ALLEGATION THAT A CHANGE IN SECURITY WAS REQUESTED
The post claimed that CHP Deputy Chairman Bülent Kuşoğlu met with Deputy Interior Minister Bülent Turan to request a change in the security team, and that this request was forwarded to Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi.
CELAL ÇELİK ALLEGEDLY OPPOSED THE MOVE
Şamil Tayyar also claimed that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's lawyer, Celal Çelik, opposed the attempt to replace the security team.
According to the post, after Celal Çelik stated, "We have no such request," the Ankara Police Department halted the process to replace the security personnel.
ALLEGATION OF "DISAGREEMENT WITHIN THE INNER CIRCLE"
In the remainder of his statement, Şamil Tayyar linked the process to a disagreement within Kılıçdaroğlu's inner circle.
In his post, Tayyar stated, "The problem is a disagreement within Kılıçdaroğlu's inner circle. A security crisis occurred due to two separate, conflicting requests. As far as I can see, there are serious internal conflicts within Kılıçdaroğlu's inner circle as well."
