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

A group of 258 former CHP parliamentarians, including ex-ministers and senators, announced in a joint statement that they are joining the YENİ Party led by Özgür Özel. The mass defection marks a significant realignment of Turkey's main opposition bloc, shifting a large pool of experienced political figures to a newer party. The move strengthens YENİ's institutional depth and electoral infrastructure ahead of future contests. Watch for how CHP responds organizationally and whether additional sitting lawmakers follow the retirees.
