A recent poll indicates a shift in Turkish public opinion, with Özgür Özel’s newly formed party taking the lead. The survey, conducted by Ank-Ar in July, shows the new party garnering 34.8 percent support. This places it over five percentage points ahead of President Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP), which received 29.4 percent. The findings, reported by Birgün daily, suggest a potential change in the political landscape of Turkey. Özgür Özel previously served as chairman of the Republican People’s Party (CHP). This poll represents the first major measurement of support for Özel's new political venture. The results may indicate growing dissatisfaction with the current ruling party.
