17 District Organizations in Bursa Resign from CHP, Join NEW PARTY

A significant political shift has occurred in Bursa, Turkey, as 17 district organizations of the Republican People's Party (CHP) announced their collective resignation. In a coordinated move, these local party bodies have officially joined the recently established NEW PARTY (YENİ Parti).

The political landscape of Turkey has changed since March 31.

The provincial head of the NEW PARTY in Bursa, Nihat Yeşiltaş, addressed the move at a press conference, characterizing the current period as politically critical for Turkey. He asserted that the NEW PARTY emerged as a response to the public's demand for change, suggesting that the CHP's path to power has been hindered by various interventions. Yeşiltaş presented the new party as a beacon of hope and a viable alternative for the nation's future.

The cadres who became Turkey's hope were tried to be liquidated through various operations.

Yeşiltaş criticized the internal processes within the CHP, arguing that an extraordinary convention should have been convened based on delegate signatures, but was not. He claimed that efforts were made to dismantle promising leadership within the CHP through various operations, particularly after the March 31 local elections, which he believes saw an increase in legal and political pressures on the opposition. The NEW PARTY aims to appeal to all segments of society, positioning itself as the party for the people, encompassing the aspirations of youth, women, workers, and those seeking a more just life in Turkey.

We had to put a new option before the citizens.
