Üstel: Natural gas is coming, we aim to cut electricity costs by 50%

UBP Leader and Prime Minister Ünal Üstel met residents in Dörtyol and Korkuteli and delivered messages ahead of the 6 December elections. Stressing that continued political stability is vital for the country’s future, Üstel said the UBP will emerge strong in both the general and local elections.

Üstel said work has begun with Türkiye on a natural gas project, which is aimed at being completed within two years and delivering electricity cost reductions of up to 50%. He recalled that youth received housing and rural loans, and that women and young people were given premium support of 100% and 80% respectively. He also announced childcare support for working mothers, tax advantages for children’s products and new incentives for young people.

Criticising the CTP, Üstel argued that in the past even a financial cooperation protocol with Türkiye could not be signed. “They speak with promises, we speak with our works,” he said. Üstel said the government had strengthened local administrations through the Municipalities Reform and asked for support for mayoral candidate Hasan Adahan. “On 6 December we will win the municipality and increase our number of MPs,” he said.
