In the case opened over allegations of irregularities related to CHP's 38th Ordinary Congress, Ankara 42nd Civil Court of First Instance ruled 'absolute nullity'. This decision means the congress is considered invalid from start to finish. While this development caused a great stir within the party and the public, the effects of the decision on CHP's management structure and future are being discussed. The lawsuits filed by former Hatay Metropolitan Mayor Lütfü Savaş and some delegates requesting the cancellation of the congress were consolidated. The court had previously ruled that there was no need to make a decision due to the case becoming moot, but the process continues with objections and new developments. This situation brings up discussions about a management vacuum in the party and possible new congress. Legal circles and political analysts are closely following how the decision will affect the balances within CHP and possible scenarios.
— There is a possibility of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu returning to the party leadership.
— The 38th Ordinary Congress will be legally considered invalid.
— The court may appoint a temporary trustee throughout the process.
— The newly elected party management will be dismissed and the legal situation will revert to the pre-congress period.
— Decisions made at the congress, elections held, and statute changes will be completely invalidated.
