Political parties in Turkey and Cyprus prepare for upcoming elections
Political activity is intensifying across Turkey and Cyprus. In Cyprus, Prime Minister Ünal Üstel of the National Unity Party (UBP) has criticized the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) for proposing early retirement at age 55, arguing such a move would collapse the economy and undermine international financial cooperation protocols. Meanwhile, the UBP is finalizing its candidate lists for the upcoming general elections scheduled for December 6.
In Turkey, Özgür Özel, leader of the New Party, has been conducting a series of primary elections and regional meetings in Yozgat, Ankara, and Kırıkkale. During these events, Özel has emphasized democratic decision-making by party members and criticized the current administration's handling of economic losses, specifically citing fund market volatility. Additionally, the People's Party (HP) has announced its parliamentary candidates for upcoming elections, with leader Kudret Özersay expressing readiness to establish a stable government.
Other regional developments include the HÜDA PAR party holding its Istanbul provincial congress, where leader Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu emphasized the party's focus on justice and social values.
