Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as a trustee to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency, expressed his desire to meet with CHP Chairman Özgür Özel and former leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. However, it was alleged that not only did he fail to receive an appointment from Özgür Özel, but Kılıçdaroğlu also did not respond to his meeting request.
According to the report by Nefes, a source close to Kılıçdaroğlu stated that Tekin did not actually request an appointment from Kılıçdaroğlu. The source remarked, "Gürsel Tekin did not request an appointment from Mr. Kemal. If he had asked, he would have granted it." The source further emphasized that Kılıçdaroğlu stands by his previous statements and that the issues within the party must be discussed.
The source, noting that party issues were not addressed in the meetings held with Kılıçdaroğlu upon Özgür Özel's invitation, stated that this is a major problem that needs to be resolved. They also added that Gürsel Tekin had requested an appointment from Özgür Özel but did not go to Ankara after failing to receive a positive response.
