The Republican People's Party (CHP) has recently been associated with different public debates, which has led to an increase in criticism against the party. In particular, the allegations of corruption and bribery have raised questions of trust among voters.
The credibility of political parties in society is shaped not only by their rhetoric, but also by the institutions they govern and the attitudes of the cadres they represent.
In this context, the CHP's way of producing politics is also questioned. The party's political strategy, especially through Ekrem İmamoğlu, is considered by some as being stuck in a narrow perspective. This situation leads to comments that the party has difficulty in producing comprehensive and inclusive policies.
However, a strong political structure does not only exist through individuals, but also through concrete projects in key areas such as economy, education, justice and social policies.
In the long term, it is critical for the CHP to develop clearer, more feasible policies in these areas that appeal to broad segments of society in order to increase its political influence.
In conclusion, the current debates point to the need for the CHP to reconsider both its institutional identity and its way of doing politics.
Lasting success in politics is possible through strong, transparent and sustainable policies rather than strategies that depend on individuals.
The CHP needs Kemal Kılıçtaroğlu's leadership again in order for these policies to be accepted and implemented by societies.
