Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's call directed at terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan, which initiated the government's new 'opening' process—referred to as a 'Terror-Free Turkey'—has caused nationalist voters to turn toward the IYI Party.
IMPORTANT NAMES TO JOIN IYI PARTY
The interest shown by the public during IYI Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu's nationwide tours is being linked to his clear stance and reaction against this process. In Ankara political circles, it is being discussed that prominent figures from the nationalist-idealist wing will join the IYI Party.
According to a report by Cumhuriyet, the participation of former Idealist Hearths Education and Culture Foundation presidents Alişan Satılmış, Atila Kaya, and Suat Başaran in the IYI Party will take place on May 3, Turkism Day. Party officials state that the participation of Atila Kaya, in particular, will have a significant impact on the electorate. It is stated that nationalist voters are reacting against the Imralı process and that this situation is leading to a shift from the MHP to the IYI Party.
REACTIONS AGAINST MHP ARE INCREASING
IYI Party officials express that the reaction of idealists toward the MHP is steadily increasing and that they feel unrepresented. Stating that the IYI Party represents both the center-right and the nationalist wing, party members emphasize that voters are turning to the IYI Party for this reason. According to poll results, it is predicted that with the start of new Chairman Dervişoğlu's tenure, the IYI Party's vote share is rising rapidly and that this rise will continue.
