Candidates have begun campaigning for provincial leadership positions within the Yeni Parti, a new political organization led by Özgür Özel.

In Aydın, Bayram İnci announced his candidacy for the provincial chairmanship. A former member of the Republican People's Party (CHP), İnci cited a lack of political opportunity and described the CHP management as a “nullity management” (butlan yönetimi). He stated his goal is to lead the Yeni Parti to prominence in the region.

In Gaziantep, Dr. Erdinç Tütüncüler also announced his candidacy for the provincial chairmanship. Tütüncüler focused his campaign on the principles of democracy and merit, advocating that the party’s direction should be determined by the collective will of its members rather than narrow interest groups.
