Elections

The Democratic Regions Party (Turkish: Demokratik Bölgeler Partisi, Kurdish: Partiya Herêman a Demokratîk‎, DBP) is a social democratic Kurdish political party in the Republic of Turkey. Pro-minority rights and feminist[citation needed] Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) acts as the fraternal party to DBP.

Development

After the 2014 municipal elections, Peoples' Democratic Party and the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) were re-organised in a joint structure. On 28 April 2014, the entire parliamentary caucus of BDP joined HDP, whereas BDP was assigned exclusively to representatives on the local administration level.[3][4]

At the 3rd Congress of BDP on 11 July 2014, the name of the party was changed to the Democratic Regions Party and a new structure restricting the activities on the local/regional government level was adopted.[5]
