The People's Party (Turkish: Halkın Partisi) is a political party in Northern Cyprus, founded on 6 January 2016. The party has stated its aims as erasing the old political system based on corruption and the good administration of Northern Cyprus.[1] Its leader is Kudret Özersay[2] and its secretary general is Tolga Atakan.[3] It currently has no representation in the parliament.
The party has a different organization from all other political parties in Northern Cyprus. It has no women's or youth wings, with the stated aim of directly integrating women and youth into its administration. It has no system of delegates that represent local branches of the party and there are no heads of local branches. It prohibits members of the parliament who have switched or are switching parties, or those who have served as leader or secretary general in another party from joining it. The party claims that the problems of Northern Cyprus do not stem from ideology, but stem from the degeneration in its application. It operates upon two stated principles: good governance, including the eradication of partisanship and corruption and maximizing transparency, and social justice, where the state will support the vulnerable.[4]
