Former Turkish prime minister Ahmet
Davutoglu, once a close ally to President Tayyip Erdogan, has launched a new
political party which could erode support for Erdogan and his ruling AK Party.
The new party is expected to breathe
new life into the Turkish politics. The new political party has 154 people on
the founders’ board list including the AKP.
Surveys say that the Future Party
will get at least 10% of votes in the next elections.
Davutoglu has been a close ally to
Erdogan since 2002 until 2016, when Erdogan sacked him after disagreements over
the constitutional amendments that have given Erdogan more powers as president.
Davutoglu was a prime minister
between 2014 and 2016. Davutoglu criticized the AKP’s economic policies.
