The day the YSK reversed the CHP congress decision and MHP made an Öcalan proposal

The day was marked by pivotal developments in the Republican People's Party (CHP) internal crisis, stemming from the annulled Istanbul Provincial Congress. Following early morning reports of Beykoz Mayor Alaattin Köseler's release and Gürsel Tekin's initial statements as trustee, attention centered on the Supreme Election Council (YSK). In a significant early afternoon decision, the YSK accepted the CHP's appeal, reversing earlier rulings concerning the provincial congress. This was swiftly followed by the withdrawal of at least two members from the appointed trustee committee, indicating continued internal disarray despite the YSK's intervention. Concurrently, a new major political development emerged in the afternoon as the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) proposed a delegation meet with PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, drawing national attention. Debates within the CHP persisted into the evening, with Gürsel Tekin’s strong remarks towards Özgür Özel and calls for an extraordinary congress. International reports on Gaza's humanitarian crisis and US threats towards Lebanon also continued to feature.
