The '''New Path ''' ('''YY'''; {{Langx|tr|Yeni Yol}}) is a Turkish political party that was founded by the Felicity Party (SP), Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) and the Future Party (GP) to create a joint parliamentary group.<ref name=VOA>{{cite web|url=https://www.voaturkce.com/a/tbmm-de-cati-parti-birlikteligi-yeni-yol-partisi-kuruldu/7931843.html|title=TBMM'de çatı parti birlikteliği: Yeni Yol Partisi kuruldu|date=10 January 2024|access-date=12 January 2024|lang=tr|author=Yıldız Yazıcıoğlu|work=VOA Turkey}}</ref> The party's chairman is İzzettin Küçük. In the Turkish Grand National Assembly, it has a total of 21 deputies—20 under its own structure and 1 from the founding parties. With this number, it constitutes the sixth-largest group in the parliament.
Although New Path is officially a political party, it primarily serves as a parliamentary group uniting Saadet, Gelecek, and DEVA, which have different political views. These parties maintain their unique political identities, ideologies, and programs while cooperating on common issues.<ref> {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/turkce/articles/cnv3vz59zqvo|title=TBMM'de çatı parti birlikteliği: Yeni Yol Partisi kuruldu}}</ref> This structure aims to create a more effective opposition bloc, exert greater influence on parliamentary decision-making processes, and better represent various social segments.
== History == Before the 2023 parliamentary election, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) amended the electoral system so that the distribution of parliamentary deputies would be made by votes for specific parties instead of party alliances. As a result of this change, parties could no longer blend votes from multiple parties to get a deputy elected.
Temel Karamollaoğlu, President of the Felicity Party, held talks with the Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) and the Future Party to make a joint list within the Nation Alliance. While the Future Party was in favour of a tripartite alliance, DEVA Party Chairman Ali Babacan refused to enter the elections from the lists of the Felicity Party, so the tripartite alliance was not established. Instead, Felicity Party, Future Party, DEVA Party and Democrat Party (DP) participated in the elections from the lists of the Republican People's Party. As a result of the elections, DEVA Party won 15 deputies to the TBMM, while Felicity Party and Future Party won 10 deputies. In July 2023, the Felicity and Future Alliance consisted of SP and GP was formed. In December 2024, Mehmet Emin Ekmen and Ertuğrul Kaya of DEVA joined the SAADET group to help that group.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://medyascope.tv/2024/12/27/deva-partisi-saadet-gelecek-grubuna-katilmak-icin-dilekce-verdi/|title=DEVA Partili Mehmet Emin Ekmen, Saadet-Gelecek Grubu'na katılmak için dilekçe verdi|lang=tr|date=27 December 2024|access-date=12 January 2024|work=Medyascope}}</ref> Mustafa Yeneroğlu, {{ill|Burak Dalgın|tr}} and Selma Aliye Kavaf left DEVA in reaction of the upcoming merger.<ref name="VOA" />
