Yeni Parti expands membership and gains Tekirdağ mayors

Yeni Parti is experiencing rapid growth and organizational expansion across Turkey. The party has surpassed 400,000 members and now has 244 affiliated municipalities. The party's general headquarters is scheduled to move into its new facility on August 30, with official meetings led by Chairman Özgür Özel set to begin on August 31.

In Tekirdağ, a significant political shift occurred as Tekirdağ Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Candan Yüceer resigned from the CHP to join Yeni Parti, citing the disregard for elected will and party organization. Her departure was followed by the resignations of three other district mayors: Ahmet Sarıkurt (Çorlu), Alpay Var (Şarköy), and Nergiz Karaağaçlı Öztürk (Malkara). Additionally, Şaban Erden, a council member for both Saray and Tekirdağ Metropolitan Municipalities, also joined the new party.

Regional organizational efforts are also underway, including the announcement of a new management board in Mersin and the ongoing establishment of a district office in Keşan.
