The People's Alliance[14] (Turkish: Cumhur İttifakı), abbreviated as PEOPLE[a] (Turkish: CUMHUR), is an electoral alliance in Turkey, established in February 2018 between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the formerly opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).[15] The alliance was formed to contest the 2018 general election, and brings together the political parties supporting the re-election of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[16] Its main rival is the Nation Alliance, which was originally created by four opposition parties in 2018 and was re-established in 2019.[17]
