Who are the winners and losers on the CHP list?

The “left wing” was unable to find inclusion on the CHP’s list of parliamentary candidates. The seventeen-person Central Executive Committee has been retained in full for the 24 June general elections. Figures known as the “left body” such as Cihaner, Altıok and Şeker were unable to enter the list.

The 600-person list for the 24 June general elections has been created at the CHP from

among the 2,319 applicants for candidacy. The final form was given to the lists at the Central

Executive Committee and Party Assembly that convened in succession chaired by

Kılıçdaroğlu. With the CHP’s Central Executive Committee having seemingly been spared

elimination, the “left body” team has to a large extent been excluded and three people from

the CHP’s presidential candidate Muharrem İnce’s team have made it onto on the list.

The final form was given to the lists at the Central Executive Committee and Party Assembly

that convened in succession chaired by Kılıçdaroğlu. Figures such as İlhan Cihaner, Zeynep

Altıok, Ali Şeker, Musa Çam and Hilmi Yaracıyı, known as the “left body,” have not been

included on the list. Ex-journalists Barış Yarkadaş, Eren Erdem and Mustafa Balbay were

unable to find inclusion on the list. As to Central Executive Committee members, they were

retained in full. The “left wing” was unable to enter the CHP’s list of parliamentary

candidates.

QUOTA FOR THE SP

Selin Sayek Böke, who published a “manifesto” along with İlhan Cihaner, has been fielded as

an Izmir candidate. From Muharrem İnce’s team, only Tanju Özcan, Yaşar Tüzün and Emre

Köprülü have been included on the list. Certain spaces in provinces such as Konya, Samsun

and Istanbul have been left blank for the SP, included in the National Alliance. Abdüllatif

Şener has been fielded as a candidate in Konya and İbrahim Kaboğlu in Istanbul.

Yesterday, CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu first convened with the five-person commission that had

received the candidacy applications. Kılıçdaroğlu then convened the Central Executive

Committee and Party Assembly in succession. The 600-person list was created, taking

account of the reports compiled on the applicants for candidacy based on interviews

conducted by the five-person commission and opinions obtained from provincial and sub-

provincial organisations. The final form was given to the 600-person list by deciding the

provinces and positions in which the candidates selected through consultation at headquarters

level would be fielded.
