The 36th Republican People's Party Ordinary Convention is scheduled to take place on 3 and 4 February 2018.[1] During the convention, several high-ranking positions in the Republican People's Party (CHP), the centre-left main opposition party in Turkey, will be up for election. The party leadership of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who first won the position in 2010, is set to be challenged by several other party members, notably including former CHP parliamentary group leader Muharrem İnce, and former president of the Istanbul Bar Association, Ümit Kocasakal.[2]
