Future Party

The Future Party (Gelecek Partisi) was a political party in Turkey founded by Ahmet Davutoglu, a former Prime Minister and a key figure in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Davutoglu, who helped shape Turkey's foreign policy and was once a close ally of Erdogan, later became a vocal critic. He founded the Future Party in 2019, positioning it as an alternative to the ruling AKP. The party's significance stemmed from its potential to challenge the established political order and appeal to disillusioned AKP voters. However, recent developments indicate a significant shift: on August 2, 2026, Ahmet Davutoglu announced the dissolution of the Future Party and his own departure from active politics. This move marks the end of his direct involvement in party politics and raises questions about the future trajectory of the political forces he represented.
