Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) is embroiled in a leadership dispute after a court annuls the party’s 2023 primary that had selected its top candidate. Party leaders now disagree on how to fill the resulting leadership vacuum. According to reports, one faction argues that party delegates should choose the next leader, using the party’s representative structures to decide internally. Another faction supports a direct vote in which party members elect the leadership. The disagreement centers on the voting method rather than who will be eligible, and it reflects competing views on how the party should re-establish legitimacy following the court’s decision. The dispute unfolds as the CHP seeks to maintain unity and prepare for upcoming political challenges, while the annulment leaves the party without a clear, confirmed leadership outcome from the 2023 process. The situation underscores how legal rulings can quickly reshape internal party governance and trigger factional tensions.
