YENİ Parti Chairman Özgür Özel outlines political roadmap and growth

YENİ Parti Özgür Özel Turkish politics CHP election roadmap

YENİ Parti Chairman Özgür Özel has outlined the party's strategic roadmap and governance goals during the first meeting of provincial chairpersons. A central theme of the meeting was the party's rapid growth, with membership reportedly exceeding 600,000 within just 18 days of its formation.

Özel addressed the legal controversy surrounding the CHP, describing the Ankara Regional Court of Justice's 'absolute nullity' decision as unlawful. He asserted that despite being forcibly removed from the CHP headquarters by state power, the party managed to retain 97 percent of its organizational hierarchy. He emphasized that YENİ Parti is positioned as a government alternative rather than a mere opposition movement.

The party's platform is built upon seven core promises, including the establishment of a democratic and just Turkey, economic productivity, and social welfare through a basic citizen income. Additionally, Özel announced a two-stage election process for provincial chairpersons scheduled for October. He also issued warnings regarding political shifts in local municipalities, suggesting that recent changes in Etimesgut and Menderes could signal broader trends affecting the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
