Deposed CHP leader Ozgur Ozel announces plans to form a new opposition party in Turkey
Ozgur Ozel, removed as leader of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party by a court order in May 2026, announced on July 22, 2026 that he would establish a new political party. The new movement, expected to be called Yeni Parti or New Party, is anticipated to attract many of the CHP's 135 legislators. Ozel framed the court ruling that ousted him as a politically motivated attack on the opposition.
