First congress of NEW Party

NEW Party is holding its first congress today. In the two-day congress, first the Chairman will be elected today, and tomorrow the Party Assembly (PM) of 150 people and other party organs will be elected.

Chairman Özgür Özel will be the only candidate at the congress to be held at Ankara Sports Hall with the slogan "Türkiye is Renewing". Özel received all valid votes in the general presidential primary election held on November 8, in which 639 thousand 454 members voted. NEW Party announced that the participation rate in the primary election was 81.3 percent.

ELECTION SQUAD

On the last day of the congress tomorrow, the election of the PM and the members of the High Disciplinary Board, whose number has been increased to 150, will be held. It is envisaged that the PM, which Özel describes as the "election staff", will be formed in three groups: "Legislative Group", "Party Organization Group" and "Policy Development Group", which will be formed with the participation of the active members of the party and the organization, as well as the MPs. A block list is expected to be implemented in the elections at the congress, where approximately 1,200 delegates will vote. After the congress, Özel will determine its new Central Executive Board, which is expected to number nearly 20.

WILL TAKE THE FIELD

In the NEW Party backstage, it is expected that Özel will start the election campaign with the speech he will give at the first congress of his party. It is also stated that Özel will take to the field with his renewed staff after the congress.

At the first congress of the NEW Party, the names of former Chairman Murat Karayalçın, Union of Municipalities of Turkey and Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ayşe Ünlüce and Denizli Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Bülent Nuri Çavuşoğlu are mentioned in the lobbies for the Presidency of the Council.
