The day's dominant editorial focus was the CHP's 'paid actor' scandal, which escalated from internal denial to a formal criminal complaint. Morning headlines carried Gürsel Tekin's threat to sue over reports that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu used agency extras at a party ceremony. By afternoon, the CHP had filed a complaint with the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, while cast agencies issued statements denying involvement. The controversy overshadowed the election of Faik Öztrak as the party's new parliamentary group leader and the defection of Ceyhan Mayor Kadir Aydar to the YENİ Parti. Concurrently, the murder of Bedriye Karaçay, whose body was found buried in a forest, and a fatal car-ramming at Berlin's Pride parade received sustained coverage. The national women's volleyball team's Nations League title provided a brief respite from the political turmoil.
