UBP candidacy applications for parliament continue ahead of 6 December vote

Applications for candidacy in the National Unity Party (UBP) are continuing ahead of the parliamentary elections on 6 December. Education Minister Nazım Çavuşoğlu, Finance Minister Özdemir Berova, Şerife Ünverdi, chair of the UBP Lefkoşa District Women's Branch, and Batu Beyit have shared their messages on the candidacy process with the public.

Çavuşoğlu announced that he had submitted his official application for candidacy for parliament. Saying that for him politics is the path to serving the nation rather than a path to positions, he said: “Ayrışmak değil, birleşmek; yarışmak değil, birlikte başarmaktır” (To unite rather than divide, and to succeed together rather than compete). Çavuşoğlu said that he and his colleagues would continue working for the future of the country. Berova announced that she had submitted her official application for the UBP Girne parliamentary candidacy and said she believes the party will become the first party with the public's support in the 6 December elections.

Şerife Ünverdi said she wants to take on greater responsibility, stating: “Benim için artık daha büyük sorumluluk alma zamanı geldi” (The time has come for me to take on greater responsibility). Batu Beyit, a UBP Lefkoşa parliamentary candidate hopeful, also announced his decision to seek candidacy, citing his sense of responsibility toward the country and its people.
