• Court annuls CHP congress, removes Özel, reinstates Kılıçdaroğlu.
• Party HQ occupation ends with police intervention on 24 May.
• Part of broader opposition crackdown; early elections possible.

"On 21 May, an Ankara court annulled the CHP party congress, removing Özgür Özel and reinstating Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. CHP supporters barricaded the headquarters until police intervened on 24 May. Özel rejects the ruling. The move is seen as part of a broader crackdown on opposition and preparation for possible early elections."
