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.

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.
