The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has expelled leading dissident member Meral Akşener, reports said on Thursday.

In August, the party referred leading dissident candidate Akşener, and the emergency convention delegation to the disciplinary board for expulsion from the party.MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli accused Akşener and other party officials for cooperating with Gülenists to take over the party, a claim she has vehemently denied.
