Turkish police storm opposition offices after leaders ousted

Turkish riot police used tear gas and rubber bullets on May 24 to storm the Ankara headquarters of the Republican People's Party (CHP), enforcing a court order that removed party leader Özgür Özel and reinstated former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

Turkish riot police used tear gas and rubber bullets on May 24 to storm the Ankara headquarters of the Republican People's Party (CHP), enforcing a court order that removed party leader Özgür Özel and reinstated former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

An appeals court ruled on May 21 that Özel's November 2023 election as CHP chairman was an "absolute nullity" due to alleged irregularities, suspending him and the party's executive board and naming Kılıçdaroğlu interim leader.

Özel tore up an evacuation notice before leaving the building and then led hundreds of supporters on a march of roughly 8 kilometers to the Turkish parliament, where he said the CHP's new headquarters would be.

Kılıçdaroğlu's lawyer, Celal Celik, submitted a petition to Ankara police requesting the handover of the headquarters after Özel's supporters barricaded the building and blocked entry. The Ankara governor's office approved the request.

Human Rights Watch said on Saturday that Erdoğan's government was undermining Turkish democracy through "abusive tactics" against the CHP, calling the court ruling "the latest deeply damaging blow to the rule of law, democracy and human rights in Turkey."

Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu, widely seen as Erdoğan's main political rival and a CHP member, has been imprisoned since March 2025 on corruption charges. The next presidential election is scheduled for 2028, though Erdoğan retains the power to call an early vote.
