Kılıçdaroğlu files petition with parliament to annul Özel's CHP group leadership

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu filed an official petition with the Turkish Grand National Assembly requesting that Özgür Özel's position as CHP group leader be declared invalid. According to reports from TRT Haber and Cumhuriyet Newspaper, the application was submitted today.

This move, which marks a new dimension in the deep factional divide within the CHP, is viewed as part of Kılıçdaroğlu's ongoing legal and political struggle against party leadership. Kılıçdaroğlu had previously shared various objections concerning internal party processes with the public.

Meanwhile, CHP member Ali Mahir Başarır also addressed Kılıçdaroğlu, explicitly stating the condition for him to 'leave politics.' According to reports, a message sent from CHP leadership regarding 'absolute nullity' stated to party members that 'legal procedures will be pursued without hesitation.' Internal party tensions continue to escalate.
