The Yeni Yol parliamentary group, composed of members from the DEVA, Saadet, and Gelecek parties, lost its official status in the Turkish Grand National Assembly after Ertuğrul Kaya, the DEVA Party Member of Parliament for Gaziantep, resigned from the party. Kaya cited disagreements with party leadership as his reason for leaving.

Following the resignation, the group membership dropped to 19, falling below the 20-member threshold required by TBMM regulations. In response, political discussions have emerged regarding potential transfers to restore the group's standing. These maneuvers include the possibility of deputies from the Republican People's Party (CHP) or the Yeniden Refah Party joining the group. CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is reportedly involved in efforts to maintain opposition balance in the Assembly.
