The Republican People's Party (CHP) has initiated a period of organizational restructuring and political activity. In August, the party completed provincial leadership appointments in several provinces, including Bolu, Gümüşhane, Hatay, Sakarya, and Tokat, following legal decisions. During this time, the party indicated that a congress schedule would be announced in early September once organizational adjustments were finalized.

By September, the CHP officially launched its congress process. Spokesperson Müslim Sarı announced a timeline involving the suspension of membership lists in late October, followed by district delegate elections in November, and district congresses beginning in December. Provincial congresses are scheduled to start in mid-January, with the entire process expected to conclude by mid-February. Alongside these internal developments, the party has used its platform to criticize the government’s economic policies, specifically citing upward revisions to inflation targets in the Medium-Term Program.
