According to an official statement on HÜDA PAR's official social media account, President Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu will introduce the mayoral candidates for certain provinces and districts on Monday, January 22. The announcement event is scheduled to take place at the Van-Edremit Application Hotel.

During the previous candidate introduction event, HÜDA PAR disclosed the following candidates:

The announcement of additional candidates in Van is seen as a strategic move by HÜDA PAR to strengthen its presence in the eastern region of Türkiye. The party is hoping to make gains in the upcoming local elections and is working to build a strong base of support in Van.

The local elections in Turkey are scheduled to take place on March 31, 2024. Voters will elect mayors, provincial council members, and district council members. The elections are seen as a test of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's popularity and could have a significant impact on the country's political landscape. (ILKHA)
