Öztürk criticises small partners: We faced problems with quorum and appointments

UBP Member of Parliament Yasemin Öztürk assessed possible government models after the 6 December elections on the Seçim Özel programme hosted by Bahadır Ayna on Haber Kıbrıs. Öztürk said that as long as the election threshold remains at its current level, it would be difficult for a single party to come to power alone.

Öztürk said that in coalition governments, disagreements between partners can make some decisions harder to reach, and that problems can arise from small partners. She noted that during past coalition periods, there were difficulties in parliamentary quorum and appointments.

Asked about a possible coalition between UBP and CTP, Öztürk said such a model could form a stronger government and allow the system of checks and balances to work better. She added that combining the strength of the two parties would be more beneficial.
