A meeting talked about backstage in Ankara led to remarkable developments within the CHP. According to Cumhuriyet writer Barış Terkoğlu, a CHP member met with Kılıçdaroğlu and asked for support to replace Özgür Özel with Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu.
According to a suggestion made to Kılıçdaroğlu by a person who holds an important position within the CHP, it was argued that the CHP should abandon its opposition role and follow Erdoğan’s route. According to this proposal, it was stated that the charter congress in November should be elective and İmamoğlu should be the chairman candidate.
These allegations confirmed by the CHP executive who met with Kılıçdaroğlu, may open the door to a new political era in the party.
It is stated that the CHP member, who stated that he will meet with İmamoğlu in the coming days, conveyed his intention to cooperate with İmamoğlu in order to put the party in a more effective position against Erdoğan.
