The Cumhur İttifakı (commonly translated into English as the People's Alliance) is an electoral alliance in Turkey, established in February 2018 between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). The alliance was formed to contest the 2018 general election, and brings together the political parties supporting the re-election of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
There have been speculations in the Turkish media, as well as among prominent analysts and politicians, that other minor parties could join the alliance before the 24 June 2018 elections. The parties most commonly mentioned as potential future members are the Great Unity Party (BBP) and the Felicity Party (SP). While the SP has ruled out joining the alliance, the BBP is currently in talks to join.
