It is about the opposition party CHP being accused of cheating in its latest leadership election, in a case that many suspect is part of the Erdogan regime's hunt for opponents.
A verdict was announced on Monday, but instead the judge announced that it will be postponed until October 24, reports the news agency AFP from the courtroom.
The court will decide whether the strong opposition party's congress in 2023 should be declared invalid. At the congress, the long-time leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu was replaced by Özgür Özel.
Extra congress
If the court declares the election invalid, Kilicdaroglu can either return as leader, or the judges can appoint some form of temporary leadership for the party, writes the news agency AP.
A number of CHP representatives can also face up to three years in prison, according to the indictment.
But to undermine the credibility of the legal process, the party has called for an extra congress on September 21. Then the members will hold a new election to confirm Özel's leadership.
CHP did well in the local elections in Turkey last year. Analysts in both Turkey and the outside world see the court process as a further sign that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is afraid of the opposition's political strength, and is trying to neutralize CHP with fabricated charges.
"Does not want democracy"
Many CHP representatives are already in custody after being accused of, among other things, corruption. The most well-known is Istanbul's mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, seen as a heavy potential challenger to Erdogan in the next presidential election.
As recently as Sunday, tens of thousands of Turks took to the streets and protested against the processes against CHP.
This government does not want democracy. They know they cannot win the election under democratic conditions, said Özgür Özel in a speech on Sunday, according to media in Ankara.
