Northern Cyprus: Hasipoğlu Says Goal Now Is the 6 December Elections

Labour and Social Security Minister Oğuzhan Hasipoğlu, a member of parliament from the National Unity Party (UBP), commented on the candidate selection and ranking vote for parliament held on 24 October. The vote involved 8,929 party members. Hasipoğlu said the affection, trust and support shown to him were a great honour and source of happiness. He said the success belonged not only to him but also to his colleagues and party members.

Hasipoğlu stressed the effort and struggle of all candidates who took part in the vote, saying each one added value to the democratic process. He said he would act with the responsibility of representing all people, whether they supported him or not, and those who think differently but share the same future. He also said politics is not about gaining office, but about serving the public and standing behind the promises made.

Hasipoğlu said he would continue to stand with the people. He concluded: “This pride is all of ours, this success is all of ours, this responsibility is all of ours. Now we will keep working to experience the same enthusiasm again on 6 December.”
