Nation Alliance

The Nation Alliance's presidential candidate and the chair of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, called on the government on March 14 to introduce new legislation to provide incentives aiming to boost economic activities in the earthquake-hit provinces of Türkiye.

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the presidential candidate of the Nation Alliance and the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) chairman, visited the earthquake area over the weekend.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has confirmed that he will pay a visit to the Peoples' Democracy Party (HDP) to ask for support for his presidential bid in the next elections.

However, in a sign of continued divisions, it has been revealed that Meral Aksener, leader of the Good Party, the second biggest in the alliance, opposed the candidacy of Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party, CHP.

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 six-party Nation Alliance's government program is the first of its kind throughout the "history of democracy," in Türkiye, the Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said on Jan. 31.

The six-party Nation Alliance's government program is a "treason document" and aims at dragging Türkiye into a system in crisis, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli said on Jan. 31.

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.

The main opposition party leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, has expressed his confidence that Türkiye will enter in a new era after the May 14 polls in which President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the joint oppositional candidate will race for the presidency.
