Ousted CHP leader Ozgur Ozel announces formation of new Turkish opposition party
Ozgur Ozel, removed as leader of Turkey's Republican People's Party by a May 2026 court ruling, announced on July 21, 2026 that he would form a new political party. The new party, expected to be called Yeni Parti, is anticipated to draw between 83 and 85 of CHP's 135 lawmakers, potentially making it Turkey's main opposition force in parliament. Ozel's ouster followed a court annulment of the November 2023 CHP leadership election over alleged vote-buying irregularities.

The split, in one line
