Turkish opposition leader to create breakaway party to take on Erdoğan

Turkish opposition leader Özgür Özel announced the creation of a new breakaway party to challenge President Erdoğan. This strategic move follows a court order that removed Özel as the head of the Republican People's Party, or CHP, a decision critics describe as politically motivated. The establishment of this new political entity aims to threaten the longtime Turkish leader's position during the next scheduled election in 2028, marking a significant shift in the Turkish opposition landscape.
