On Tuesday, Ozgur Ozel, leader of Turkey's opposition Republican People's Party (CHP)

On Tuesday, Ozgur Ozel, leader of Turkey's opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), announced he and his allies would resign to form a new party called Yeni Parti (New Party) after a court ruling in May stripped him of his position. The move follows multiple investigations into the CHP, with hundreds detained, including Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. Ozel claims the rulings are politically motivated, potentially shifting power dynamics and benefiting President Erdogan if elections occur earlier than scheduled.
