HDP’S DIVERSITY ATTRACTS EVERYONE

Hülya Kartal from the HDP office in New York described the atmosphere at the polls as diverse and vibrant, where dedicated HDP volunteers have been working everyday since May 16. According to Kartal, women and religious and ethnic minority groups make up the majority of their volunteers, and this diversity attracts voters.

Kartal also highlighted the interest the HDP election campaign receives from voters who have traditionally voted for other parties: ‘Especially former CHP voters show great interest in HDP principles, representation, and discourse. Some have even volunteered at our events and we organized together!’
