Bahçeli proposes September 9 for CHP congress

MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli commented on the leadership discussions within the CHP, saying the party needs to hold its congress as soon as possible. Bahçeli proposed September 9, the founding anniversary of the CHP, as the date for the congress.

According to TRT Haber, Bahçeli in his statement drew attention to the internal conflict within the CHP and linked the congress date to a day carrying political significance. September 9 holds symbolic weight in CHP tradition as it marks the liberation anniversary of Izmir.

Bahçeli's remarks came during a period of continued tension between CHP leader Özgür Özel and former party leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The CHP leadership has not yet made an official announcement regarding the congress timeline.
