7 Mayors Join Opposition
Seven imprisoned mayors joined Turkey’s opposition Yeni Parti (“New Party”) through a letter read at its founding congress. They said they were continuing their political struggle from prison after refusing to give up the offices they had won in the 2024 elections; six of them had headed municipalities in Istanbul. The congress elected Özgür Özel as party leader. The party has its sights set on the 2028 presidential election and has 90 members of parliament, compared with 280 for the Justice and Development Party and 44 for the Republican People’s Party.
