Third alliance enters the fray ahead of Turkish elections
The leftist Labor and Freedom Alliance pledges to undo injustice but could risk a split in the opposition vote.
ISTANBUL — A third political alliance has been announced for Turkey’s upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections, leaving observers wondering about its potential impact on what was previously a two-horse race.
The Labor and Freedom Alliance is a coalition of six left-wing parties, with the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) by far the dominant element with 56 lawmakers in the Turkish Grand National Assembly as Turkey’s third biggest parliamentary party.
