Furthermore, The move came after weeks of struggle by the deposed party leadership against a court ruling that had declared the congress of 2023 invalid and Özel’s controversial predecessor Kemal Kilicdaroglu as party leader. After the election of Özel as party chairman at the party congress in 2023, he reorganized the CHP. The fact that the party performed better than the ruling AKP for the first time in the 2024 local elections see Özel and his supporters as clear proof of their political success.
In addition, Özel said in his speech on Tuesday that he did not take off his shirt, but all together “put on a shirt of fire”. However, surveys in recent weeks showed support from around 30 percent of respondents for a new party.
