Our Background: We are the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), a constituent party of the HDP (Peoples’ Democratic Party). To circumvent the high risk of a potential closure verdict for the HDP by Turkey’s Constitutional Court ahead of the elections, the HDP announced its participation in the general elections held on May 14th, 2023, under the banner of our party. Formerly known as the Green Left Party, we changed our name to the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party during the 4th grand congress on October 15th 2023. We have taken up the flag of the democratic struggle from the HDP.

Our Vision: We are committed to a pluralistic, participatory, and deliberative approach to politics. Our mission is to establish a democratic, libertarian, egalitarian, just, ecological, gender-equal, and solidarity-based society. At DEM Party, we advocate for universal human rights, safeguard the rights of nature and all living beings, oppose militarism, and stand for labour, social justice, ecology, peace, and democracy.

For Egalitarian and Just Politics
