New Party turns to supporters for funding after CHP split
Türkiye’s emergent main opposition New Party raised 113.8 million Turkish Liras ($2.4 million) in the first 24 hours of a fundraising campaign launched as the movement seeks to build its organization without access to state financial support.
“We wholeheartedly thank all our citizens who donated for their support. Our NEW Party will continue to grow with the support of our nation,” deputy leader Özgür Ceylan said in an X post on July 31.
Around 32,000 people contributed to the campaign, he added.
The party launched the campaign after its formation left it ineligible for treasury aid allocated to political parties. Supporters can transfer donations to three bank accounts designated by the party.
