The Workers' Party

The Workers' Party of Türkiye (TİP) revoked its endorsement of Gökhan Zan as the mayoral candidate for the southern province of Hatay amid swirling allegations just two weeks ahead of the elections.

"We have received various allegations that Zan has entered into relationships that our party would never approve," read a statement released by TİP, without elaborating further.

The Workers' Party of Türkiye (TİP) has put forward former football player Gökhan Zan as its candidate for mayor in the earthquake-ravaged Hatay province.

An opposition MP and former union leader, Janko Vucinic, on Friday announced the formation of a new left-wing party modeled on Greece's Syriza, which will rally the country's "looted and disenfranchised" workers.
