The 35th Republican People's Party Ordinary Convention will take place on 16 and 17 January 2016, having originally been scheduled for 2014. The convention date was pushed back from 2014, when it was supposed to be held two years after the previous in 2012, due to the 18th Extraordinary Convention that was held in September 2014. Held shortly after the CHP's defeat in the November 2015 general election, the party is expected to see challengers to the leadership of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who has not yet announced whether he would seek re-election as party leader.
In November 2015, Kılıçdaroğlu ruled out any prospect of holding an Extraordinary Convention prior to the scheduled Ordinary Convention despite calls from some CHP MPs, claiming that the preparations for the Ordinary Convention had already began.
