The core team of recently removed Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Özgür Özel has resigned en masse from the party assembly. This coordinated resignation is intended to activate a legal requirement for an extraordinary party congress. The congress will be held to elect a new chairman for the CHP, Turkey’s primary opposition force. Özel was removed from his position earlier this week following internal disagreements and a perceived lack of progress in key areas. The resignations effectively force the party to hold a leadership contest sooner than anticipated. Details regarding the timing and process of the congress are expected to be announced shortly. This development marks a significant shift within the CHP and could reshape the Turkish political landscape.
