Turkey court annuls main opposition party’s 2023 congress in latest blow

ANKARA, May 21 (Reuters) – A Turkish court on Thursday annulled the 2023 congress of the main opposition Republican People’s Party in which current chairman Ozgur Ozel was elected, dealing a potentially big blow to President Tayyip Erdogan’s political challengers. 

The Ankara court said former chairman Kemal Kilicdaroglu should replace current leader Ozel.
