At CHP congress, Baykal expected to keep party helm

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) general congress will begin tomorrow in Ankara. During the two-day gathering, longtime CHP leader Deniz Baykal could face as many as five challengers for the party helm. Umut Oran, the youngest would-be leader, said he could win with the support of 253 delegates. He also told fellow CHP members that he aims for not only the party leadership, but also the prime ministry. Baykal's supporters, however, are confident he can easily win another term.
