“A Turkish court on Tuesday dismissed the main opposition CHP party’s leadership in Istanbul over alleged irregularities in its 2023 congress, court documents showed. According to the ruling, the court cancelled the outcome of the provincial congress, throwing out CHP’s Istanbul provincial leader Ozgur Celik, along with 195 of the party leadership and delegates. … The move comes as the CHP is under mounting legal pressure from a growing number of investigations into alleged graft, which began in earnest with the jailing of Istanbul’s popular and powerful CHP mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in March, triggering massive protests.” (09/02/25)
