Türkiye’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) will hold its first overseas rally on Oct. 12 in Brussels as preparations for the party’s upcoming congress continue, Turkish media reported Wednesday.
The decision came after the CHP’s 22nd Extraordinary Congress on Sept. 21, followed by the first meeting of the party’s Central Executive Board (MYK) under new Chairman Ozgur Ozel. At that meeting, the party leadership resolved to stage rallies abroad.
Ozel will address Turkish voters in Brussels during the Oct. 12 event, with details on other overseas rallies to be announced later, according to reports.
Meanwhile, CHP lawmakers are set to gather this weekend for a retreat in Bolu, where discussions will focus on the new legislative term, upcoming congresses, and preparations for the party’s 39th Ordinary Congress. The Party Assembly and MYK are expected to meet Monday to finalize the congress date.
The Istanbul 45th Civil Court previously annulled CHP’s Oct. 8, 2023, Istanbul Congress, removing Ozgur Celik and his team, and appointed Gursel Tekin and four others as trustees.
Tekin entered the Istanbul office with police support after the ruling. The former CHP administration had closed the building, designating it instead as the office of party chair Ozgur Ozel.
