Over 700 members of Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP) have resigned following the announcement by ousted leader Özgür Özel that he will establish a new political party. Resignations have been reported across at least ten Turkish provinces, as well as from members in the Netherlands. This mass exodus appears to be a direct response to Özel’s decision, signaling potential instability within the CHP. The number cited represents publicly announced resignations, suggesting the actual figure could be higher. This development marks a significant shift within the Turkish opposition landscape. It remains to be seen how these departures will impact the CHP’s future and the broader political dynamics of Turkey. The move indicates a clear division within the party ranks following Özel’s removal.
