Kılıçdaroğlu's convention plan becomes clear: Will he be a candidate?

Political backrooms in Ankara have become active once again. Following the 'absolute nullity' decision taken within the CHP, all eyes had turned to the potential candidacy of former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. However, according to information reflected in political circles, Kılıçdaroğlu will not put his name forward for the chairmanship at the new convention to be held by the party.

According to what is being discussed in political circles, Kılıçdaroğlu shaped this decision especially after the reactions that became evident within the party base in the recent period. It is stated that the chants of “Traitor Kemal” shouted in front of his party's headquarters last night both angered and deeply saddened Kılıçdaroğlu.

Journalist Gürbüz Evren, in a television program he attended, claimed that the former chairman has completely abandoned the idea of running in the convention in the face of the latest developments. According to information received from within the party, Kılıçdaroğlu does not find it appropriate to join the race again in the current political atmosphere.

Party sources state that preparations for the new era in the CHP are accelerating and that different names are beginning to emerge for the chairmanship. Kılıçdaroğlu's decision not to run again is considered an important step that will change the balance in the leadership race within the CHP.
