The opposition Nation Alliance has completed its mission as the elections are over, and all sides will go their separate ways, a senior member of the İYİ (Good) Party has said.

"All alliances are election alliances, and when the election is over, all alliances disappear," İYİ Party Secretary-General Uğur Poyraz said on June 1 in a televised interview.

Nation Alliance leaders have visited earthquake-affected provinces of Türkiye on first day of Eid al-Fitr on April 21.

Nation Alliance presidential candidate and Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu visited Adıyaman, while chair of İYİ (Good) Party Meral Akşener was in Malatya on April 21.

A total of 13 out of 26 political parties that submitted their parliamentary candidate lists to the Supreme Election Board (YSK) will enter May 14 elections on their own, while 13 others will run under alliances.

Four small parties of the six-party oppositional Nation Alliance have decided to run for the Parliament with the ticket of the Republican People's Party (CHP) in order to maximize the number of seats of the alliance in May 14 polls.

İYİ (Good) Party leader Meral Akşener said on Feb. 1 that the six-party Nation Alliance's government program is the concrete plan of what they will do after May 14 elections drafted over discussions of the opposition leaders in "common sense."

The leaders of the six oppositional parties held their 11th meeting on Jan. 26 to start deliberations for choosing a joint presidential candidate to race against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the mid-May polls.

The six-party opposition alliance will hold its next meeting on Jan. 26, days after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan signaled May 14 as the potential date for the simultaneous presidential and parliamentary polls.

The Nation Alliance will meet at the İYİ (Good) Party headquarters, where the party chair, Meral Akşener, will host the leaders.

İYİ (Good) Party leader Meral Akşener stressed that the presidential candidate of the Nation Alliance should have state experience and would pursue a parliamentary system.

Felicity Party (SP) leader Temel Karamollaoğlu has stressed that the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader's nomination for the next year's presidential election as the joint candidate of the opposition alliance may be a strong possibility.

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.
