Internal Crisis Erupts in Ankara CHP
The long-awaited CHP Party Assembly meeting took place, resulting in the selection of new candidates for various districts.
One of the most notable candidates to emerge from the assembly was Behzat Ç, also known as Erdal Beşikçioğlu, for the Ankara districts. This surprise selection sparked controversy, with claims that the current Metropolitan Mayor, Mansur Yavaş, opposed the decision. However, Özgür Özel, the Chairman, assured that Yavaş expressed no objections to this nomination.
The assembly also saw members of the close working team of Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu being nominated as candidates for various Istanbul districts. This move has raised questions regarding the potential influence of the Mayor in the selection process.
The selection process was not without its drama, as allegations surfaced that Yavaş would withdraw his candidacy during the ongoing Party Assembly meeting.
As the dust settles from this meeting, it remains to be seen how these new selections will impact the political landscape moving forward.
