The New Path Party (YYP; Turkish: Yeni Yol Partisi) is a Turkish political alliance between the Felicity Party (SP), Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) and the Future Party (GP) established on 4 January 2024, which includes the establishment of a joint group in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM).
Background
2023 election
Before the 2023 parliamentary election, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) amended the electoral system so that the distribution of parliamentary deputies would be made by the individual votes of the parties instead of the total votes of the alliances. As a result of this change, it was prevented that the parties that could not get a deputy alone could unite under the roof of the alliance and get a deputy. Thereupon, Temel Karamollaoğlu, President of the Felicity Party, held talks with the Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) and the Future Party to make a joint list within the Nation Alliance. While the Future Party was in favour of a tripartite alliance, DEVA Party Chairman Ali Babacan refused to enter the elections from the lists of the Felicity Party, so the tripartite alliance could not be established. Instead, Felicity Party, Future Party, DEVA Party and Democrat Party (DP) participated in the elections from the lists of the Republican People's Party. As a result of the elections, DEVA Party won 15 deputies to the TBMM, while Felicity Party and Future Party won 10 deputies. In July 2023, the Felicity and Future Alliance consisted of SP and GP was formed. In December 2024, Mehmet Emin Ekmen [tr] and Ertuğrul Kaya [tr] of DAVA joined the SAADET group to help that group. Mustafa Yeneroğlu [tr], Burak Dalgın [tr] and Selma Aliye Kavaf left DAVA in reaction of the upcoming merger.
