土耳其主要反对党共和人民党（CHP）的被罢免领导人Özgür Özel周五率领90名议员集体退党，随即正式注册成立名为"新党"的政治党派，意在挑战总统埃尔多安的统治 [1]。
此次分裂源于今年5月的一场法律风波 [1]。法院以"存在不规范行为"为由推翻了2023年选举Özel担任CHP主席的党代会投票，并恢复了之前被撤销的基利奇达罗格鲁的领导地位 [1]。
新党获得议会600个席位中的91个，预计将取代CHP成为主要反对党 [1]。而埃尔多安所在的正义与发展党（AKP）拥有277个议席 [1]，CHP在议员流失后仅余44个席位 [1]。
尽管CHP在2024年市政选举中曾对埃尔多安的党派造成沉重打击 [1]，但党内的这次分裂可能改变土耳其的政治格局。值得注意的是，伊斯坦布尔市长Ekrem Imamoğlu自去年3月以来一直被监禁 [1]。
Özgür Özel, the ousted head of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), formally registered a new political party on Friday after leading 90 lawmakers in a collective departure from the CHP. [1] The newly formed party, called the "New Party," aims to challenge President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's grip on power. [1]
The breakaway follows a May court decision that annulled the 2023 party congress vote that had appointed Özel as CHP chairman, restoring the leadership of the unpopular Kılıçdaroğlu. [1] The New Party has secured 91 seats in the 600-member parliament, positioning it to become the primary opposition force. [1] This leaves the CHP with only 44 seats after the mass defection. [1]
Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) currently holds 277 parliamentary seats. [1] The CHP had dealt a significant blow to Erdogan's party in the 2024 municipal elections before this internal fracture. [1] Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu has been imprisoned since March of last year, further weakening the CHP's standing. [1]
