Source-derived summary

The Homeland Party (Turkish: Memleket Partisi) was a political party in Turkey, founded in May 2021 by Muharrem İnce, the former candidate of the Republican People's Party (CHP) in the 2018 Turkish presidential election. It has dissolved itself in July 2025.

The party originated as a social movement (Homeland Movement) in September 2020, two years after the election. It split from the CHP after İnce failed to unseat serving CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu from his position. İnce was also encouraged to establish a party during his Homeland Movement campaign.

The party was largely seen as a protest movement against the established CHP leadership, which had refused to resign despite consecutive election losses and has been accused by İnce of straying from the CHP's core Kemalist values. One of the party's slogans is "Neither from the right nor from the left, but in the way of Atatürk".
