The decision to exclude ten members of the DPS was taken by the regional structure at today's regular meeting of the party in Kardzhali, the chairman of the regional structure Resmi Murad told BTA. Among those expelled are three people's representatives in the 51st National Assembly, elected by “DPS-New Beginning”, and three mayors of municipalities in the district, who were part of the list of coalition “DPS – A New Beginning“ in the last parliamentary elections. These are the people's representatives Elvan Gyurkas, Ayten Sabri and Bayram Yuzkan Bayram. The three mayors are Errol Mümün – of Kardjali, Nejmi Ali – of Jebel, and Ayjan Ahmed – of Chernoochene, listed BTA.
The reason for the measure is non-compliance with the Charter of the party "Movement for Rights and Freedoms". and more precisely on the basis of Article 6, paragraph 4, item 2 and item 4 thereof and mainly for “creating conditions for schism and factionalism, threatening the integrity of the party and its governing bodies”, as well as “ ;registering one's own candidacy without a party decision in parliamentary and local elections; membership in another party; works for the benefit of other parties or independent candidates; works against the party in elections“.
Among those expelled are also Bairyam Ahmed Bairyam, Seyfi Mehmedali, Mesru Myoumyun, Muharrem Muharrem.
The decision can be appealed to the CSO of the DPS, the document states.
The decision is a consequence of the decision taken yesterday by the municipal structure of the DPS in Kardzhali, which for similar reasons excluded 12 members who participated in the lists of the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms or worked for this coalition. Among them are the former mayors of Kardzhali and Jebel – Hassan Aziz and Bahri Yumer.
„The decision is identical, but the things are different”, commented Resmi Murad, recalling that at the beginning of September the regional council withdrew its confidence from the three mayors and dissolved the municipal councils of the DPS in these municipalities.
