The authorized bodies of the party have not taken a decision yet, but the prevailing opinion is that the party should continue with Buldan and Sancar.

	 

	A TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED FOR MESSAGES OF THE CONGRESS

	 

	More emphasis is placed on the messages to be given at the 5th Great Ordinary Congress and the reality of HDP being a determinant in Turkish politics. A comprehensive study is carried out on the election policy, the moves in the Presidential elections and the democratic solution model of the Kurdish question. In this context, it was learned that the Central Concensus Commission formed a team and this team will work on the messages to be given at the congress. A feverish work has begun on the messages of the new co-chairs to be elected in the congress.

	 

	RECOMMENDATIONS OF IMPRISONED POLITICIANS WERE TAKEN

	HDP IS DISCUSSING CANDIDATES FOR PRESEDENTIAL ELECTIONS

	 

	Another important issue was whether HDP would nominate candidates for the presidential elections. HDP Co-Chair Mithat Sancar stated that they are open to negotiation on this issue in an open and transparent manner and at the same time pointed to the possibility of an alternative candidate. This issue started to be discussed in the boards where HDP alliances were formed before the congress. It was learned that even some names are being discussed as presedential candidates.

	 

	THE ATTITUDE OF THE OPPOSITION WILL BE DECISIVE

	 

	The attitude of the opposition regarding the pressures on HDP and the lifting of immunities of the HDP MPs will be decisive in terms of HDP's policy towards Presedential elections. It is stated that if the opposition chooses a candidate that HDP and its voters can not accept, HDP will nominate a presedential candidate as an alternative to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the candidate of the People's Allience.
