The People's Alliance ( Cumhur İttifakı in Turkish ) is an electoral alliance for the 2018 presidential and parliamentary elections that has existed since February 2018 between the ruling, Islamic-conservative Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) and the far -right Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi (MHP), who had been opposition until then . The Islamist - nationalist Büyük Birlik Partisi (BBP) can use the AKP's electoral lists to nominate candidates, but is not formally a member.
background
Since 2016, a joint approach by the AKP and the MHP has been observed at parliamentary level, which only made the constitutional referendum possible in 2017 . At the end of 2017, the nationalist MHP chairman Devlet Bahçeli spoke about an electoral alliance with the AKP and suggested the name that is now being used. This electoral alliance stipulates that the MHP does not nominate its own presidential candidate and that the proposed MPs stand on a joint electoral list . In addition, a possible alliance for some districts was not categorically rejected in the local elections .
While the Party of Happiness (SP) refused to join the alliance, the Great Unity Party (BBP) wants to be part of it. However, this is rejected by the party of the Nationalist Movement, from which the BBP once split. In consideration of this, the AKP announced that possible candidates for the BBP for a seat of parliament would be introduced via the AKP's electoral lists.
