Elections

The Homeland Party (Turkish: Memleket Partisi) is a political party in Turkey that was founded on 17 May 2021 by Muharrem İnce, the former candidate of the Republican People's Party (CHP) in the 2018 presidential elections. The party originated as a social movement (Homeland Movement[14]) in September 2020, two years after the election. It split from the CHP after İnce failed to unseat serving CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu from his position.[15] İnce was also encouraged to establish a party during his Homeland Movement campaign.[16] The party is largely seen as a protest movement against the established CHP leadership, which has refused to resign despite consecutive election losses and has been accused by İnce of straying from the CHP's core Kemalist values.[17] It has two seats in the Grand National Assembly.

History

Homeland Movement

The Homeland Movement was founded by Muharrem İnce in Sivas on 4 September 2020, marking the anniversary of the Sivas Congress, with the motto of "Homeland Movement Within One Thousand Days (Bin Günde Memleket Hareketi)". İnce stated that the aim of the movement during its foundation as "...not a intraparty opposition movement, we are offering an alternative to Turkey. Turkey needs to reunite and share. The name of the movement that we started today is 'Homeland Within 1000 Days' movement."[18]

Partification

Muharrem İnce, on 8 December 2020, stated that he would leave the CHP, which he had been a member of since 1992, and that the Homeland Movement would be registered as a political party. The name and logo of the party would be made public by himself at a press conference in the future.[19] İnce started a three-day preseason training in Nevşehir on 25 January 2021 with a team that consisted of 80 people, and said: "We have unanimously accepted our party constitution".[20]

Muharrem İnce said that the party's foundation application would be given to the Ministry of Interior in April 2021.[21] It was eventually provided earlier than expected on 17 May, at which time the party was officially established. Upon establishment, three CHP members of the Parliament joined the party. One of them resigned later from the party and became independent.[22]
