11th Nationalist Movement Party Ordinary Congress
The 11th Nationalist Movement Party Ordinary Congress ( Turkish: ''11. Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi Olağan Kongresi'') was a political party convention held by the Turkish right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) on 21 March 2015. The Congress resulted in the re-election of Devlet Bahçeli as party leader, with rivals failing to obtain enough signatures to contest the leadership election. Timing and date The congress was held on 21 March 2015, which was significant due to the close proximity to the general election held on 7 June 2015. Furthermore, the Congress coincided with Newroz, the celebration of the Iranian new year by Kurdish people in Turkey.
