A court in Turkey annulled the 2023 leadership election of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) on Thursday, state news agency Anadolu Agency reported, in a sharp escalation against the country's embattled opposition.
The ruling overturns the result of the leadership election that brought in current party head Özgür Özel and ordered that the party's former long-term chair, Kemal Kılıcdaroglu, who lost the election to Özel, take over as interim leader.
