Turkey CHP internal crisis and YENİ Parti rise

Overview

The political landscape in Turkey continues to shift following the formation of the YENİ Parti, led by former CHP MP Özgür Özel. The new party now controls 91 parliamentary seats and has completed organizational work in 78 of 81 provinces. Recent polling shows a significant surge for YENİ Parti; while a SONAR poll previously showed it leading with 34.3%, an August 2026 ORC Araştırma survey placed the AK Parti in first at 33.1%, with YENİ Parti in second at 17.2% and the CHP at 10.6%.

Internal instability within the CHP has intensified through widespread disciplinary actions. The party has moved to expel 48 members, including prominent figures such as former General Secretary Selin Sayek Böke, former Women’s Branch President Aylin Nazlıaka, and former MP İlhan Cihaner. These actions are reportedly based on allegations that these members were working for or promoting the YENİ Parti. Critics suggest these purges aim to prevent members from the Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu era from returning to power, potentially reducing the Party Assembly from 54 to just 5 individuals.

Defections and local disputes continue to impact the party. Muğla Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Aras resigned to serve as an independent. In Ankara’s Gölbaşı district, six municipal council members left the CHP for the AK Parti. In Denizli, management restructuring occurred following allegations of authoritarian conduct and lack of transparency. Additionally, tensions between current leader Özgür Özel and former leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu were noted during the funeral of former Deputy Chairman Cevdet Selvi, where the two leaders exhibited a visible lack of interaction.

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.

  • "The CHP has fallen to 5% in the polling results."

    vs

    "ORC Araştırma poll (27‑29 July) gave CHP 11.8 % support."

    SONAR Research and ORC Araştırma report different support levels for the CHP (5% vs 11.8%).

  • "The AK Parti holds 30.2% of the vote in the same poll."

    vs

    "The newly formed YENİ Parti leads in polling with 34.3% of the vote after distributing undecided voters."

    SONAR Research cannot report both Yeni Parti leading with 34.3% and AK Parti holding 30.2% in the same poll if the total percentages are inconsistent with the context of the other claims.

  • "Alf Araştırma poll (24‑28 July, 1,885 respondents) gave AK Party 34.2 %, Yeni Parti 19.3 % and CHP 12 %."

    vs

    "The newly formed YENİ Parti leads in polling with 34.3% of the vote after distributing undecided voters."

    The support for Yeni Parti is reported as 34.3% by SONAR and 19.3% by Alf Araştırma.
