Statement from previous term parliamentarians: Decision to 'join' NEW Party before the congress

258 former parliamentarians who served in different periods in the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM) announced that they decided to join and support the NEW Party led by Özgür Özel.

Names, including former ministers, senators and deputies, stated that they will announce their decisions to the public tomorrow in a joint statement.

"THERE IS A NEED FOR A NEW HOPE AND UNDERSTANDING OF POLITICS"

In the statement, it was emphasized that Türkiye needs a new hope and understanding of politics, and the following was noted:

"As social democratic deputies who have served in the Turkish Grand National Assembly in different periods and are committed to the fundamental values of the Republic and Ataturk's principles, we believe that Türkiye is in great need of a new hope and a new understanding of politics in this period when income distribution and tax justice are disrupted, equality of opportunity is eliminated, our people are impoverished, the rule of law is destroyed and citizens' trust in the state is shaken.

Under the leadership of Mr. Özgür Özel, the New Party, which is based on the fundamental values of the Republic, human rights and freedoms, parliamentary democracy, rule of law, secular education and social peace, was founded as a result of this social demand, this search for new hope and politics. We, who have this understanding, believe that supporting the New Party is a historical responsibility.

With this belief and responsibility, we, the 258 parliamentarians whose names are listed below, who have served as ministers, senators and members of parliament in the past, collectively announce to the public our decision to join and support the New Party under the chairmanship of Mr. Özgür Özel on November 13, 2026.

This step is not just joining a party. This participation is also an expression of the will and responsibility of the social democratic movement in Türkiye to bring together the experience and knowledge of the cadres committed to secular, contemporary Republican values with the New Party, with a new political march for the future of Türkiye.

"We invite all our citizens who believe in the fundamental values of the Republic, Ataturk's principles and revolutions, and democracy, to protect our common future and to grow this hope, embodied by Mr. Özgür Özel and the New Party, together."
