A Turkish appeals court’s ouster of the elected leadership of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) sparked condemnation from opposition parties, bar associations, labor unions, rights groups and professional organizations.
The Ankara Regional Court of Justice’s 36th Civil Chamber annulled the CHP’s 38th ordinary congress, the November 2023 vote that brought Özgür Özel to the party leadership, and ordered former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the previous party administration to take over on an interim basis.
The same court later rejected the CHP’s objection to the interim measure, while the Supreme Election Board (YSK), Turkey’s top election authority, also rejected a CHP application against the ruling.
The ruling added a new legal front to pressure on the CHP, Turkey’s oldest political party and the main opposition force against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
It came as the CHP was already facing investigations and a crackdown on municipal administrations that resulted in the jailing of 20 mayors including İstanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, the CHP’s presidential candidate, who was detained and subsequently arrested in March.
Özel rejected the ruling and remained at CHP headquarters in Ankara, where party officials held an emergency meeting. He told supporters the party would not surrender the headquarters or accept what he called “the palace’s opposition,” using a term the opposition often uses for Erdoğan’s presidential office.

This has been going on for decades. Erdogan is still there.
Yeah...well I have a Turk living in my house and the story is that the opposition leader was elected due to bribery and the court looked at the circumstanced and then nullified the election.
Democrats are taking notes.
I’ve been watching what is happening under Erdogan for more than 10 years. Turks are not the issue, Erdogan the Islamist Dictator is The Issue.
The Turkish Minute was started by a top journalists who flew out just under the wire to avoid being Kangaroo Courted. Turkish Minute tells the truth.
There is no freedom of speech in Turkey. None of the media avoids being censored. Just like the Ottoman empire.
Erdo thinks he must be the next Sultan of many nations.
USA democRATs/DemoKKKrats are drooling, and very jealous that they do not have this power... Yet.
I don’t think my Turks love him but they do love Turkey. However, one became a USA citizen and the other one will ASAP. There is opportunity here that doesn’t exist in Turkey.
BTW, I’m talking about people with multiple degrees who are very intelligent, sophisticated and love Trump.
I am not questioning you, or your guests.
I simply know from past experience that there is no truth in Turkish media.
Yep
