Özel calls Turkish opposition leader to hold intra-party election

Özgür Özel, previously ousted as the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) due to a court ruling on vote-buying accusations, is urging for an intra-party election to determine the opposition's future leadership. This move comes after the reinstatement of another leader, sparking debates within the party about internal democracy and accountability. The situation underscores the ongoing power struggles within Turkey’s opposition, which could have broader implications for the political landscape and the party’s ability to challenge the ruling government effectively.
