CHP seeks to oust MP amid sexual misconduct probe
The Republican People’s Party (CHP) has referred lawmaker Ahmet Baran Yazgan to its disciplinary board with a request for his expulsion after footage emerged showing him being beaten inside a home.
CHP spokesperson Müslim Sarı announced the decision on Aug. 14 via X, saying Yazgan was referred for expulsion under the party’s “fundamental principles, bylaws and disciplinary provisions.”
Yazgan was summoned to the CHP headquarters on Aug. 13 over the footage, according to the party.
The chief prosecutor’s office in Ankara has also launched an investigation into Yazgan on allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault involving acts of a sexual nature.
