Ousted CHP figure rallies thousands in Ankara after leadership ruling
TL;DR
Ozgur Ozel, ousted as CHP leader by a Turkish court, drew tens of thousands to Ankara as he led a march following a ruling that annulled the CHP's 2023 congress and reinstated Kemal Kilicdaroglu. Kilicdaroglu visited the CHP HQ and pledged to purge corruption, while Ozel urged an immediate party congress. The large turnout signals continued opposition backing despite the ruling, a development Erdogan could view with concern as Ankara’s mayor joined the protest.
