Republican People's Party (CHP) member of the Şişli Municipal Council, Yusuf Özcan, resigned from his party following the release of footage alleging he assaulted a woman.

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel requested Özcan's resignation after the incident. Özcan had to leave the party due to the footage shared on social media.

Özcan was elected as a member of the Şişli Municipal Council from CHP in the local elections on March 31, 2024. However, due to the events, he parted ways with his party.

CHP not only demanded Özcan's resignation but also announced that disciplinary proceedings would be initiated. This situation once again highlighted the party's understanding of discipline.

This incident also raised questions about CHP's stance on women's rights. The public is curious about how the party will respond to such incidents in the future.
