  • The New Party has prepared its first campaign bus, which will be used in Kocaeli during party leader Özgür Özel's upcoming field work.

Turkey's burgeoning New Party has rolled out its first campaign bus, a vehicle designed to traverse the country and connect with voters.

The bus, set to make its debut in Kocaeli where party leader Özgür Özel will conduct field work, sports a prominent image of Özel. Accompanying his photograph is the party's slogan, "Turkey's NEW Party."

A particularly eye-catching element on the rear of the bus is a photograph of Özel with Ayşe Yaylacık, a farmer he met during a visit to İzmir's Bayındır district on June 29. Yaylacık's words to Özel, "We will buy you a bus and build a building," have been immortalized on the bus, overlaid with the affectionate caption "Thanks to my aunt."

Meanwhile, work continues at the New Party's headquarters. The party anticipates relocating to its new central office building on Monday, August 31, signaling further organizational development.

We will buy you a bus and build a building.
