ANKARA (AA)- Turkey's opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) on Wednesday expelled a parliamentarian representing the Black Sea Samsun province.
Erhan Usta was dismissed for his remarks “damaging the existence and continuation of the People's Alliance ” with the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party.
The party's central disciplinary board dismissed Usta by a unanimous vote.
The alliance — formed last year, ahead of June's general elections — also includes the much smaller BBP, or Great Union Party.
Following the expulsion, the MHP holds 48 seats in the 600-seat parliament.
