Lawyer Yaltı: CHP Party Council Can Pass Congress Resolution Despite Court Injunction

According to Cumhuriyet newspaper, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu — appointed to his post following the 'absolute nullity' ruling within the CHP — has drawn legal pushback over his condition that 'the precautionary measure must be lifted' before a congress can be held. Legal expert and attorney Başar Yaltı stated that the court's precautionary measure only halts specific proceedings, and that the Party Council retains its authority to pass a congress resolution.

According to Yaltı, the precautionary measure does not constitute a legal barrier to the congress actually convening; the CHP Party Council can adopt such a resolution and initiate the process. The statement directly targets Kılıçdaroğlu's 'lift the measure first' position and adds a new dimension to the intra-party congress debate.

The internal legal dispute within the CHP continues to deepen as questions mount over the legitimacy of a party chairman installed by court order.
