The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
A court ruling declared the Republican People's Party's leadership election null and void, reinstating Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the previous party administration in Ankara. Following this, Özgür Özel and 90 lawmakers resigned and established a New Party. The Republican People's Party alleged that vehicles and equipment valued at over TL 250 million were removed or went missing from provincial and district offices during the formation of the New Party.

Why it matters
The political instability and internal disputes within the Republican People's Party, coupled with allegations of asset misappropriation, introduce operational risk. The reports also note that the country is facing a stalling economy, suggesting that political uncertainty could impact market stability and business confidence.
