After a long silence, in a special broadcast on KRT, he hinted that he would make people pay “the price of betrayal” upon the question asked to him “Don't let their daggers get cold.” He said.

Haji. Bektash-ı Veli Commemoration Ceremony, “for the first time” “PURIFICATION” and he used the concept. And he said that we will be PURIFIED from betrayers, collaborators, hurters and vested interests. .

Again, in a special broadcast with Gökhan Kayış on KRT, he strongly “Shady.” He emphasized and reiterated the issue of “Purification”. And he even touched upon the issue of purification not only for the CHP but also for the State with harsh sentences.

When we look at this ranking, we can say that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu shared what he had in mind with the public at certain periods when the time and place came.
He first emphasized that he had been stabbed, then that he would pay the price of betrayal, and then he shared with the public that he would follow the way and method to pay the price of betrayal, that is, the path of “Purification”. .
Politicians, journalists, writers and academics, who have analyzed all these statements of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, his posts on his X account, his short interviews and press releases from time to time, have made inferences about which political plane Kemal Kilicdaroglu's politics will proceed on.

Again, especially in the public “Absolute Nullity Case“ known as the "Trial of the Dictator", there have been many theories about the case. There were those who stated the probability of the outcome and those who made a definite judgment.
But a defacto majority of those who think Kılıçdaroğlu will return to the presidency are predicting the process;
1). Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will return to the Presidency
2). Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's “PURIFICATION” that he would follow politics and purify the party from those who betrayed it. .
This was the sequence.
But the majority was wrong, the paradigm shifted and the order was reversed. .
I mean; ;
1)......purification first
2)......then Kılıçdaroğlu takes the chair of the General Presidency
We can see this concretely in front of us. .
To put it even more bluntly, it starts with ‘Purification’ period is and will be carried out in two phases.
1). Ekrem Bey and Municipalities:
Mr. Ekrem, other mayors, bureaucrats .... are currently being purged from CHP and the state. .
2). Özgür Bey and CHP Central Administration.
The purification period in the CHP's Headquarters Administration has not started yet. It seems that the purge will soon begin in the CHP leadership. So far “untouched” Everyone from the President to his deputies, MPs, provincial presidents, district presidents and delegates will be touched. In other words, the second period of purification will begin.
The outrage that would be caused by carrying out the two phases together must have been calculated, as the purification period is being carried out in stages.
In short, the purification of the CHP has begun and even reached the halfway point with the trials over Mr. Ekrem. And with the clarity that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu wants.
Both in the state and in the CHP.
The second part, the purification period at CHP headquarters, is just around the corner. Özgür Özel will turn to his deputies “If I get 30 years, you'll get 30 years.” His statements are a sign of this. The fact that the fezes of CHP deputies -including his own- are circulating in the corridors of the Parliament and on the commission tables is also evidence that the purge will soon begin in the CHP.
To put it briefly, in Turkish politics and CHP politics; ;
First the purification will take place, then Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will take the chair.

Here we must also make a vital assessment of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's position.
In this process, I can say “I am glad that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu did not become the General President again by absolute nullity or some other method”.
Because; if Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu had been the General President in this period, he would have been stuck between two different alternatives and would have been scapegoated.
What is it?
First Alternative :
If Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu were to return to the chairmanship, he would face a natural necessity. He would have to defend people who he wanted to purge from the CHP and who were known for corruption. Since he is the party's chairman, Kılıçdaroğlu would be pressured to “defend the party members” and defend those who are involved in theft, corruption and shady activities. In other words, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu would be forced to defend those he wanted to purify, instead of purifying them.
Second Alternative:
When Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu tried to purge the party of those involved in corruption and theft, he would be accused of “acting with the AKP judiciary, not defending or standing behind his own party members”.
Therefore, we see that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is doing his part in this process in the best way possible. Watching quietly and calmly.
Last but not least, “in this process” Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's not taking the chairmanship was an important gain.
With no intelligence, police, gendarmerie, gendarmerie, judiciary, civil administration or any other power at his disposal, Kılıçdaroğlu would have been unlikely to be able to do this purification only as the party's chairman.
This cleansing process is also good for Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in terms of preventing him from wearing out.
The only advice I can give here for the fans of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is : Patience and try to hear the messages in Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's silence. It is a critical period to hear what Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is silent and to see what he swallows.
Recently, many names from the media, the sports community, the art world and the political arena have been arrested and imprisoned. It would be correct to call this part the purification within the state itself. It is possible to talk about this at length. But that is a topic for another article.
When we look at this picture, it seems that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's call for “purification”, which he has steadfastly emphasized for both the CHP and the state, has been realized.
In light of all these developments, the new road map and motto of both Turkish politics and CHP politics under the leadership of Kılıçdaroğlu has become clear: PURIFICATION. .
