CHP organizational restructuring and congress process

Overview

The Republican People's Party (CHP) has entered a period of organizational restructuring following allegations of corruption and irregularities during its 2023 convention. Initially, the party focused on renewing local and district organizations and re-establishing delegate structures to address legal challenges and claims of vote-buying.

In September 2026, the CHP announced an official congress schedule to formalize its transition. Party Spokesperson Müslim Sarı confirmed that membership lists will be suspended for review on October 28, followed by district delegate elections on November 11. District congresses are set to begin on December 12, while provincial congresses will commence on January 16, 2027. The party expects all local congresses to conclude by February 14, 2027, after which the Party Assembly will schedule the Grand Ordinary Convention.

A significant development in the party’s legal landscape is the decision to waive its appeal against the Ankara Regional Court of Justice’s ‘absolute nullity’ ruling regarding the 38th Ordinary Congress. This waiver aims to prevent delays in the new congress timeline. The decision follows the resignation of Özgür Özel and his team to form the YENİ Party, which effectively removed them as parties to the appeal. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reinstated as leader following the court’s decision, remains a central figure in discussions regarding future leadership and potential alliance candidates.
