Can there be a political party more miserable, incompetent, clumsy and factious than the perennial main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP)? Many people have kept stressing on in the past many decades that this country does not a government problem; what is absent is a credible opposition capable enough to be an alternative to those in government.

Selin Sayek Böke, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) spokesperson and deputy head responsible for the economy, announced her resignation from her duties on May 6, citing the lack of a political fight within the party against the April 16 referendum results.

Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) could consider withdrawing from parliament in protest at irregularities in the April 16 referendum, the party's spokeswoman, Selin Sayek Böke, has said on April 19.

"We do not recognize the referendum result," she said. 

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has questioned why all general board meetings of Turkey's state-run lenders have been postponed until after the referendum, speculating that the government may be "afraid of something in their balance sheets."
