Temel Karamollaoğlu

The Felicity Party and the Future Party have agreed to form a joint group in the Turkish parliament.

The new group, represented under the umbrella of the Felicity Party, will be led by Selçuk Özdağ, the Muğla deputy of the Future Party. According to the agreement, each party will have a representative as the group's vice-chair.

The statement by Saadet (Felicity) Party leader Temel Karamollaoğlu that there may be a third alliance on the side of opposition parties after a new election law has sparked a debate over cooperation among six opposition parties that united to reinstate a parliamentary system in Turkey.

The high advisory board head of the Felicity (Saadet) Party, Oğuzhan Asiltürk, passed away at age 86 on Oct. 1 after being hospitalized for dyspnea due to pneumonia. He had been receiving treatment in Ankara since Sept. 13.

Felicity Party (SP) leader Temel Karamollaoğlu, whose party only won 1.3 percent of the votes in the June 24 elections, has admitted defeat in the polls but vowed they will "keep on telling the truth."

İYİ (Good) Party leader Meral Akşener and Felicity Party (SP) leader Temel Karamollaoğlu have collected the required 100,000 signatures to be a presidential candidate and qualify to run in the presidential elections against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Muharrem İnce and Selahattin Demirtaş. 

Two oppositional leaders, Meral Akşener from the Good (İYİ) Party and Temel Karamollaoğlu from the Felicity Party (SP), who are willing to run for the presidency in the June 24 polls, have begun collecting the required 100,000 signatures, a day after the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader urged the government to probe potential links of these voters with the Fethullahist Terrorist Organiza
