The day's dominant editorial focus was the accelerating collapse of the CHP as a wave of defections to the newly formed YENİ Parti swept across municipalities. Morning reports of Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş's detention were quickly overshadowed by a cascade of resignations: over 200 mayors reportedly left the CHP, with Manisa's metropolitan and 14 district mayors joining YENİ Parti en masse. By evening, Amasya Mayor Sevindi, Hatay's 54 members, and İzmir's organization had also defected, while Özgür Özel launched a public donation campaign for the new party. Ahmet Davutoğlu's announcement that he was quitting politics and dissolving Gelecek Partisi added to the sense of political realignment. Concurrently, forest fires in Muğla, Antalya, and Kazdağları forced evacuations and road closures, and a factory explosion in Kırklareli killed two workers.
