It has been stated that there is no warm reception within the CHP for the return of deputies who left for the New Party with Özgür Özel following the absolute nullity ruling. According to the report, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was brought to the CHP Chairmanship with the nullity ruling, also refused to meet with the deputies who wanted to return.
According to the report by Türkiye Gazetesi, the view that the process caused severe consequences for the CHP and that leaving the party during this period should have a political price has come to the fore within the party leadership.
"It cannot be 'I felt like it, so I left and came back.' We are standing guard here to keep the party alive. There was a process that did not follow the rules of politics as we know them. The most painful and worst period in CHP history fell on our watch. If I am standing guard, they should have stood guard too. This is not a revolving door. Leaving the CHP must have a political consequence."
