BREAKING NEWS | The first congress of the New Party under the shadow of bribery and resignations: Özgür Özel was elected chairman

The congress will continue tomorrow with the election of the members of the Party Assembly and the High Disciplinary Board. Although there is a single list rule in the statute, it is claimed that preparations are being made for the elections to be held by block list method. In block list elections, delegates either fully accept or completely reject the list of names created by the chairman. It is stated that Özel wants a block list election in order to avoid puncturing his own PM list and to ensure that the elections are concluded faster. 77 of the 150-person PM will be from the parliamentary group.

Taking action for a block list in the elections also mobilized the lobbies. It is claimed that since the establishment of the New Party, Özgür Özel and his team have had complete control over the party, while the İmamoğlu wing has been pushed to the background. In this context, it is claimed that the block list method may have been preferred by the İmamoğlu front, considering that Özel's PM list could be breached. It will also be carefully monitored whether important staff members such as Burhanettin Bulut, Turan Taşkın Özer, Veli Ağbaba and Özgür Karabat, whose names were involved in corruption and bribery allegations in the IMM and Aziz İhsan Aktaş indictments, will be included in the new PM.
