The '''New Path ''' ('''YY'''; {{Langx|tr|Yeni Yol}}) is a Turkish [political party](/source/political_party) that was founded by the [Felicity Party](/source/Felicity_Party) (SP), [Democracy and Progress Party](/source/Democracy_and_Progress_Party) (DEVA) and the [Future Party](/source/Future_Party_(Turkey)) (GP) to create a joint [parliamentary group](/source/parliamentary_group).[{{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](/source/Voice_of_America) Turkey}}] The party's chairman is İzzettin Küçük. In the [Turkish Grand National Assembly](/source/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.[ {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/turkce/articles/cnv3vz59zqvo|title=TBMM'de çatı parti birlikteliği: Yeni Yol Partisi kuruldu}}] 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](/source/2023_Turkish_parliamentary_election), the [Justice and Development Party](/source/Justice_and_Development_Party_(Turkey)) (AKP) and the [Nationalist Movement Party](/source/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](/source/Temel_Karamollao%C4%9Flu), President of the [Felicity Party](/source/Felicity_Party), held talks with the [Democracy and Progress Party](/source/Democracy_and_Progress_Party) (DEVA) and the [Future Party](/source/Future_Party_(Turkey)) to make a joint list within the [Nation Alliance](/source/Nation_Alliance_(Turkey)). While the Future Party was in favour of a tripartite alliance, DEVA Party Chairman [Ali Babacan](/source/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](/source/Democrat_Party_(Turkey%2C_current)) (DP) participated in the elections from the lists of the [Republican People's Party](/source/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](/source/Felicity_and_Future_Alliance) consisted of SP and GP was formed. In December 2024, [Mehmet Emin Ekmen](/source/Mehmet_Emin_Ekmen) and [Ertuğrul Kaya](/source/Ertu%C4%9Frul_Kaya) of DEVA joined the SAADET group to help that group.[{{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}}] [Mustafa Yeneroğlu](/source/Mustafa_Yenero%C4%9Flu), {{ill|Burak Dalgın|tr}} and [Selma Aliye Kavaf](/source/Selma_Aliye_Kavaf) left DEVA in reaction of the upcoming merger.
