Republican Turkish Party leads in northern Cyprus polls according to internal data

The Republican Turkish Party (CTP) currently holds the lead in the occupied territories of Cyprus according to internal polls conducted throughout 2026. During a press conference on September 21, 2026, party president Sila Usar Incirli announced that recent surveys by Metro Public Opinion, involving 1,000 participants in February, May, and August, indicate that the party is in a position to secure a parliamentary majority.

The party has outlined its 'common future' platform, focusing on anti-corruption measures, economic stabilization, cost-of-living adjustments, and improvements to healthcare and education. Incirli emphasized that the program, developed with expert assistance, also addresses public sector reforms, migration management, and security concerns. The stated goal is to move away from exclusionary governance toward a model that represents broad segments of society.

While the CTP frames its platform as a solution to current socioeconomic challenges, the data presented relies on internal party research. The political landscape remains focused on addressing the population and security issues that have been central to public discourse in the region.
