Rahşan Ecevit (2015)

Zekiye Rahşan Ecevit (* 1923 in Bursa ; † January 17, 2020 in Ankara ) was a Turkish writer and politician. She was married to the former Turkish Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit .

Life

Rahşan Aral was born in Bursa in 1923 as the daughter of Namık Zeki Aral and his wife Zahide Aral. Her family actually lived in Şebinkarahisar in northeastern Turkey, but had come from Thessaloniki in 1920 . Rahşan attended the American Robert College in Istanbul . In 1946 she married her classmate Bülent Ecevit.

In 1974, Bülent Ecevit became Prime Minister of Turkey for the first time. After the military coup in 1980, Ecevit was arrested and was no longer allowed to participate in active politics. Ecevit's party, the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP), was banned. On November 14, 1985, Rahşan Ecevit founded the social democratic democracy Sol Parti and led it until Bülent Ecevit's ban on activity was lifted in 1987.

Between 1989 and 2004 Rahşan Ecevit was vice-president of the party and responsible for the structure of the party. On January 17, 2010, she became chairwoman of the newly founded Democracy Sol Halk Partisi (DSHP), as the DSP had increasingly deviated from Bülent Ecevit's political course and had little chance of jumping the 10 percent hurdle in the elections. But the DSHP only existed for a short time. After Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu became the new chairman of the CHP, Ecevit joined the CHP with many other DSHP founders and the DSHP was dissolved.

Ecevit died on January 17, 2020 in a hospital in Ankara.
