The Kurdistan Alliance convened at the Headquarters of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP) in Amed (Diyarbakir) on Friday.

The meeting was attended by DBP Co-Chair Saliha Aydeniz, Democratic Society Congress (DTK) Co-Chair Berdan Öztürk, Human and Freedom Party (PIA) Chair Mehmet Kamaç, Azadî (Freedom) Party Chair Ayetullah Aşiti, Kurdistan Communist Party (KKP) member Sinan Çiftyürek, Revolutionary Democratic Kurdish Association (DDKD) member Halim İpek, Kurdistan Democratic Party-Turkey (KDP-T) member Mehmet Emin Kardaş and HDP deputies Necdet İpekyüz, İmam Taşçıer and Nusrettin Maçin.

According to reports, the meeting was organised to discuss the Peoples' Democratic Party’s (HDP) decision to reconsider whether to nominate a candidate to run in the upcoming elections, set to take place on May 14.

The Alliance will convey its position on the presidential elections to the HDP and its tendency to nominate a candidate.

The HDP, in turn, will inform the Labour and Freedom Alliance about the outcome of the Kurdistan Alliance meeting. The HDP formed the Alliance for Labour and Freedom (Emek ve Özgürlük İttifakı) last September with the Social Freedom Party (TÖP), the Labour Movement Party (EHP), the Federation of Socialist Councils (SMF), the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP) and the Labour Party (EMEP), which intends to run its own candidate in the parliamentary elections.

The final decision is expected to be announced to the public at the Labour and Freedom Alliance's meeting.
