The CHP leadership crisis dominated the day as Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu returned to party headquarters after 2.5 years, drawing crowds and delivering a speech where he admitted failing to notice FETÖ remnants and called for a clean congress. Simultaneously, Özgür Özel held a competing bayramlaşma event and marched to Anıtkabir, deepening the split. Editors prioritized this internal conflict over other stories, including fatal holiday accidents, a mother arrested for sharing explicit images of her daughter, and a massive Istanbul concert. The day's coverage reflected a media focus on the opposition's paralysis, with Kılıçdaroğlu's return and Özel's counter-moves framed as the central political narrative.
