Yeniden Refah Partisi internal leadership disputes
Overview
Internal leadership changes and disputes have emerged within the Yeniden Refah Partisi (YRP).
In Konya, the party’s provincial presidency denied rumors of mass resignations within the Ilgın District Organization. The party clarified that the former Ilgın District President was removed by the General Headquarters on August 18, 2026, rather than resigning, and noted that municipal council members remain in their positions.
Later, Istanbul Member of Parliament Doğan Bekin resigned from his roles as Deputy Chairman and member of the Central Management Board. Bekin stated his resignation was made at the request of YRP Chairman Fatih Erbakan and cited internal disagreements. He criticized Deputy Chairman Suat Kılıç, alleging that Kılıç’s book contained insults regarding the late Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan. Bekin described the leadership appointment of Kılıç as ‘political ignorance’ and ‘hypocrisy.’ While stepping down from management, Bekin intends to remain a Member of Parliament for the YRP.
