Bahçeli's proposal to increase the number of provinces in Türkiye from 81 to 100
Published
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli proposed the establishment of 19 new provinces in Türkiye. According to Bahçeli, the number of provinces in the country should be increased from 81 to 100. This proposal has brought back to the agenda an important debate that could change the country's administrative structure.
In Türkiye, the establishment or abolition of a province is generally carried out by law. Therefore, for new provinces to be established, a bill must be prepared in the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and adopted. It has not yet been specified which provinces would be established or when this process would begin.
Increasing the number of provinces also raises questions about how local governments and public services would be organized. The establishment of new provinces could affect administrative boundaries in regions, the structure of municipalities, and the distribution of state services. For this reason, the issue is regarded as a topic on which different views are being discussed.
In conclusion, Devlet Bahçeli's proposal has started a new debate on raising the number of provinces in Türkiye to 100. How the proposal will be handled in Parliament and what the government's position on the matter will be are among the issues that will need to be followed in the coming period.
