The Populist Party (Turkish: Halkçı Parti) was a left-wing political party in Northern Cyprus between 1975 and 1981.

History

The party was established in 1975 by Alper Orhon, and won two seats in the 1976 elections.^[1] However, the following year one of its two MPs defected to the Communal Liberation Party. In 1981 it merged into the Democratic People's Party.^[1]

Ideology

The party had social democratic principles, and was considered to be a Cypriot version of the Republican People's Party in Turkey.^[1] It was critical of the National Unity Party government's handling of economic affairs, particularly the dependence on Turkey for economic development. It supported government-run enterprises and the participation of workers in planning.^[2]
