A claim that stirs up Ankara's political corridors! 2 MPs from the New Path Group to AKP and DEM

As political preparations for the presidential and general elections accelerate, new alliance options among smaller parties have moved to the top of the agenda in Ankara. Political circles are discussing both contacts between center-right and conservative parties and the possibility of a new union along nationalist lines.

NEW ALLIANCE SEARCHES IN ANKARA

It is stated that negotiations for a new election-oriented alliance are ongoing between the New Welfare Party (Yeniden Refah Partisi), the DEVA Party, and the Felicity Party (Saadet Partisi), and that the parties have reached a consensus in principle. On the other hand, claims that the Victory Party (Zafer Partisi) and the Key Party (Anahtar Partisi) could unite under the umbrella of the IYI Party continue to persist in Ankara's corridors.

FIVE PARTY LEADERS MET AT THE SAME TABLE

While this traffic of contacts continues, the meeting of five political party leaders at the same table in Ankara the other day drew attention. It was reported that Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ, National Path Party (Milli Yol Partisi) Chairman Remzi Çayır, Independent Turkey Party (Bağımsız Türkiye Partisi) Chairman Hüseyin Baş, Justice Party (Adalet Partisi) Chairman Vecdet Öz, and Kutlu Party Chairman Yusuf Halaçoğlu met at a restaurant.

The meeting brought the question “Is a new nationalist alliance being formed?” to the agenda. National Path Party Chairman Remzi Çayır's words regarding the possibility of a new alliance, “Yes, there is something like that,” were evaluated as a statement that strengthened the rumors in this direction.

MP TRAFFIC IN THE NEW PATH GROUP

It is also stated that the balance could change again in the New Path Group (Yeni Yol Grubu), which was formed by the coming together of the DEVA, Future, and Felicity parties in Parliament. After the Future Party dissolved itself, Mustafa Bilici from that party joined the AKP, causing the group's number of MPs to drop from 20 to 19, and the qualification to form a group in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) was lost.

STRIKING CLAIM FOR TWO FUTURE PARTY MPS

The crisis was overcome when the CHP added one MP to the New Path Group on the same day. According to a report by Ekonomi Gazetesi, it is claimed in political circles that two more Future Party MPs could leave the group. While it is suggested that Denizli MP Sema Silkin Ün could join the AKP and Bursa MP Kani Torun could join the DEM Party, it is said that Manisa MP Selçuk Özdağ will remain in the group for now.

NEW PATH GROUP MAY LOSE ITS GROUP STATUS AGAIN

It is stated that if the two aforementioned MPs leave, the New Path Group could lose its group status in Parliament once again. This picture shows that pre-election alliance negotiations are closely linked not only to ballot box strategies but also to group balances in the TBMM.
