3 critical applications at the Constitutional Court: Emblems of political parties are on the agenda

The General Assembly of the Constitutional Court included objections to the names, nicknames and emblems of political parties on its agenda. Three separate applications made by DSP, Motherland Party and BBP will be examined at the meeting on November 11.

OBJECTION TO DSP'S DOVE EMBLEM

In DSP's application, it was claimed that the "white dove on a blue background" emblem used by the Re-Hope Party, which was founded on February 3, 2026, was so similar that it could be confused with its own emblem.

In the application, it was argued that the emblem in question was contrary to Article 96 of the Political Parties Law No. 2820, and it was requested that it be deemed invalid and deleted from the registry of political parties in accordance with Article 104 of the same law.

OBJECTION FROM THE HOMELAND PARTY TO THE MAIN ROAD PARTY

The Motherland Party, on the other hand, claimed that the name, nickname and emblem used by the Anayol Party were so similar that they could be confused with its own party identity.

In the application, it was requested that the Anayol Party's emblem, which includes a bee figure on the map of Türkiye, and its name and nickname be deemed invalid within the scope of Article 69 of the Political Parties Law and be deleted from the registry of political parties.

APPLICATION FROM BBP TO TWO PARTIES

In the application of the Great Unity Party, the names, nicknames and emblems of the Great Change Unity Party, established on September 28, 2026, and the Unity Party in Truth, established on September 21, 2026, were objected to.

BBP claimed that the names, nicknames and emblems in question were contrary to Article 96 of the Political Parties Law and requested that they be deemed invalid in accordance with Article 104 and deleted from the registry of political parties.

The Constitutional Court will meet on 11 November to make a decision.

The General Assembly of the Constitutional Court will consider the applications made by the three political parties at its meeting on November 11.

Within the scope of the applications, it will be evaluated whether the names, nicknames and emblems subject to objection are contrary to the Political Parties Law.
