Üstel says UBP will emerge stronger in December 6 elections

Ulusal Birlik Partisi (UBP) leader and Prime Minister Ünal Üstel said the UBP would emerge stronger from the general and local elections to be held on December 6. According to a UBP statement, Üstel met people in Dörtyol and Korkuteli and delivered messages about the elections. He said the party would win the municipality and increase its number of parliament members, and would continue stability and service together with Turkey.

Üstel said work had begun on a natural gas project with Turkey, which aims to be completed within two years and to cut electricity costs by up to 50 percent. He said support for young people and families would increase, recalling housing and rural loans, 100 percent premium support for women and 80 percent for young people, daycare support for working mothers, and a tax advantage on children's products.

Criticising the CTP, Üstel said that in the past a financial cooperation protocol with Turkey could not even be signed. He said the government had strengthened local administration through the Municipalities Reform and asked for support for mayoral candidate Hasan Adahan.
