Disputes among the leaders of Turkey's main opposition party risk fragmenting the opposition and lowering the bar for the ruling party to return to an increasingly hot economy ahead of the next election cycle. On June 1, Anka News reported that Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party, or CHP, had secured enough signatures to hold an extraordinary party convention, just hours after the CHP's former leader, Ozgur Ozel, said he had launched a campaign to acquire the necessary signatures. The push for a new party convention comes after a May 21 Turkish appeals court ruling that nullified the results of the 2023 CHP party congress that elected Ozel and other CHP leaders. As a result of the nullification, former CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu and his administration were provisionally reinstated.
