Clashes at Main Turkish Opposition Party Headquarters in Ankara
Clashes erupted at the Republican People's Party (CHP) headquarters in Ankara between supporters of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Özgür Özel following a court ruling invalidating the results of the party's 2023 general congress due to bribery and administrative violations. Police were ordered to evacuate the premises.

Impact verdict
Medium impact. The clashes are currently confined to the CHP headquarters in Ankara and involve factional supporters rather than a nationwide uprising. However, the judicial invalidation of a major opposition party's congress results carries significant political destabilization risk, could trigger wider protests or unrest across Turkish cities, and signals deeper institutional tensions within Turkish democracy.
