The leaders of the six opposition parties have agreed to run in the next presidential elections with a joint candidate but without spelling out who he or she might be, in their sixth in-person meeting over the weekend.

The opposition's candidate for the presidency will win the polls against incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the first round, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader has vowed, also predicting that the opposition alliance will garner the parliamentary majority.

Political party representatives exchange greetings face to face for Eid al-Adha after two years of online greetings due to pandemic restrictions.

The opposition alliance has argued that a tripartite agreement with Sweden and Finland over their admission to NATO has no concrete value other than being used for internal politics.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, İYİ (Good) Party chair Meral Akşener, Democrat Party chair Gültekin Uysal, Felicity Party head Temel Karamollaoğlu, Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) leader Ali Babacan and Future Party chair Ahmet Davutoğlu met for the fifth time on July 3 at the İYİ Party headquarters.

No legal problem stands before the presidential candidacy of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the next elections, the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has said, vowing he will be reelected in the most strong way.

One of the most important issues that brings the six opposition parties together is the need to bring democracy to Türkiye, the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP) has said.

A commission set by six opposition parties has outlined a list of measures they will impose for the safety of the polls in the next elections slated for June 2023.

A decision given by the Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) to run alone in the next parliamentary elections will not affect the composition and principles of the six-party Nation Alliance, opposition officials have said.
