Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), İYİ Party, Felicity Party (SP) and Democrat Party (DP) agreed early Wednesday to form an alliance for the June 24 elections. The official statement is expected to be released on Thursday. The name of the alliance will be determined by the party leaders, sources said.
A CHP official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters the deal between four parties would be formally announced at a news conference on Thursday.
It will enable the smaller parties in the alliance to skirt a regulation that mandates parties must receive at least 10 percent of the vote to enter parliament. The deal creates a broad coalition against President Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling alliance.
Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has established an alliance with the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Broadcaster NTV said the opposition alliance deal would be signed at 3 pm on Thursday. A deadline of May 6 was set for election alliances to be filed with the Higher Board of Election (YSK).
The pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democracy Party (HDP) will run individually in the elections. The protocol of the four-party alliance will be signed by four leaders on May 3 before it will be registered with the YSK.
