Erdogan's Perfect Storm The Turkish opposition is reeling after a high court annulled the election of Ozgur Ozel as leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP), handing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a significant boost ahead of his 2028 presidential bid.
The ruling declares the 2023 party congress null and void due to alleged irregularities, adding to a series of legal cases targeting CHP members and elected officials.
Ozel's election as leader had sparked concerns about his ability to challenge Erdogan's dominant AKP party.
