The opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) dismissed the court-appointed emergency convention delegation yesterday, which consisted of three members from the party.

The party previously referred the leading dissident candidate for party chairmanship, Meral Akşener, along with the emergency convention delegation to the disciplinary board for expulsion from the party.

Along with Akşener, Ayhan Erel, Ali Sağır and Mehmet Bilgiç, members of the emergency convention delegation appointed by an Ankara court in April were also referred to the disciplinary board.

Erel was briefly detained on July 28 and released the next day in part of investigations into the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) that carried out the July 15 failed coup attempt.

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli accused Akşener and other party officials of cooperating with Gülenists to take over the party.
