Turkey's main opposition party fractures after court forces leadership change
Balkan Insight—Turkey's Republican People's Party (CHP) is engulfed in an internal power struggle after a court-imposed leadership change upended the party's established hierarchy. Balkan Insight reports the crisis risks eroding the country's main opposition force at a critical political moment. Meanwhile, Daily Sabah reports that former CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu has responded by launching a new wave of purges inside what has become, in effect, a two-headed party. The turmoil could weaken the opposition's ability to challenge President Erdogan's governing coalition.
