The official Facebook account of CHP İzmir Provincial Headquarters has been seized, Cumhuriyet newspaper reports. İzmir Provincial Chair Çağatay Güç shared the development publicly and directed party members and followers to new social media addresses. The move came immediately after a similar seizure of the CHP İstanbul Provincial Headquarters' Facebook account. These steps are reportedly linked to efforts by a team close to former party chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to assert centralised control over the party's social media infrastructure. The battle over digital presence across CHP provincial organisations is widely seen as a concrete and visible manifestation of deepening intra-party tension. Political observers continue to follow closely the trajectory of this internal conflict within Turkey's largest opposition party.
