Ousted Turkey opposition leader says to form new party

Ozgur Ozel, the ousted leader of Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP), announced plans to form a new party following a controversial court ruling that removed him from his post. The court annulled CHP’s November 2023 leadership election, reinstating Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and Ozel aims to establish the new party as the main opposition force in the Grand National Assembly.
