This ambitious move marks a significant expansion for the party and sets the stage for a nationwide campaign under its own banner.
Speaking at a press conference held at HÜDA PAR Headquarters, Mahmut Şahin, the Head of Election Affairs for HÜDA PAR, unveiled details about the party's candidates and election strategy for the upcoming local elections on March 31.
Şahin revealed that HÜDA PAR has nominated a total of 779 mayoral candidates across 26 metropolises, 51 provinces, and 702 districts. He emphasized that voters will find HÜDA PAR's logo and name on the ballot papers in all 81 provinces of Türkiye.
Highlighting the party's commitment to "Honest Municipalism Real Service," Şahin reiterated HÜDA PAR's decision to participate in the elections with its own logo and candidates nationwide. He announced that candidate introduction meetings have already been conducted in five provinces.
While HÜDA PAR decided not to nominate candidates for the mayorship in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Bursa, Şahin clarified that the party has selected District Mayoral Candidates in several districts of these cities.
Şahin assured citizens that HÜDA PAR's candidates will prioritize honesty, ethics, and service-oriented governance, offering an alternative to the current political landscape. He urged voters disillusioned with current politics to support HÜDA PAR's candidates, using the hashtag #BuSeferHÜDAPAR.
Concluding his statement, Şahin expressed gratitude to all citizens who expressed interest in running as candidates for HÜDA PAR and hoped for peaceful and tranquil elections on March 31.
HÜDA PAR's nationwide participation presents an interesting development in the upcoming elections. While its focus on smaller municipalities might limit its immediate national impact, the party's message of ethical governance will probably resonate with voters seeking an alternative. Its performance in these elections could also influence the wider political landscape, potentially drawing support away from established parties. (ILKHA)
