Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Former Turkish state minister and ex-Hatay MP Nihat Matkap has resigned from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), he announced. Matkap previously served as a Devlet Bakanı (minister of state) and represented Hatay in parliament. The departure adds to a series of recent resignations and internal friction within the CHP, underscoring strains in the party's ranks. The move matters as a signal of possible further defections ahead of the party's next strategic decisions. What to watch next is whether other CHP figures follow suit and how the leadership responds.
