Sözcü: Kılıçdaroğlu told AKP-linked journalist list of 9 MPs to expel

Sözcü newspaper shared with the public a list of 9 MPs that former CHP Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu wanted expelled from the party. According to the newspaper's report, Kılıçdaroğlu directly conveyed the names in question and the expulsion plan targeting them to a journalist described as being close to the AKP.

While the report presented the existence of the list in concrete terms, the MPs' identities were shared publicly by Sözcü along with their names. The development coincided with CHP Chair Özgür Özel's call at an event held the same day in Manisa for party members not to resign, bringing the party's internal tensions back to the top of the agenda once more.

The allegation that Kılıçdaroğlu conveyed sensitive internal party information such as an expulsion list to a figure close to the ruling government is expected to lay the groundwork for deep discussions both within the CHP and in opposition circles. This dimension of the intraparty conflict is expected to continue preoccupying the CHP leadership's agenda in the coming days.
