The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) continues to struggle with intraparty conflicts as the opponents of the current administration call for democratic reforms ahead of the party congress that will be held in March.
“Inner-party democracy must be ensured within the party's bylaw,” said Gaye Usluer, a congress member of the party, during the Eskişehir provincial congress on Sunday.
Pointing at the incumbent CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’s democracy promises in the election campaigns, Usluer stated, “If we would not have an inner-party democracy, they would not believe our promise of establishing democracy within the country.” Usluer was in Eskişehir to collect signatures for the upcoming extraordinary congress, which will be held on March 28-29.
According to Usluer, a key step in achieving inner-party democracy is to have primary elections, which were removed by Kılıçdaroğlu during the latest elections. Usluer is known for her support of Muharrem İnce, the biggest opponent of Kılıçdaroğlu within the party and former presidential candidate of the CHP back in 2018.
