Constitutional Court Decision No. K: 2025/113 on Political Party Financial Audit (E: 2022/10), Dated 25 December 2025

The Constitutional Court of Turkey issued Decision K: 2025/113 on 25 December 2025, concluding the financial audit case registered as E: 2022/10. This ruling falls within the Court's constitutionally mandated role to audit the income, expenditures, and asset acquisitions of political parties pursuant to Article 69 of the Turkish Constitution and the Law on Political Parties No. 2820. The case, filed in 2022 and deliberated over approximately three years, examined whether the audited political party's financial records, revenue sources, and spending activities were in compliance with constitutional and statutory provisions governing party financing. The Court reviewed treasury aid disbursements, membership dues, donations, and campaign-related expenditures. Based on its assessment, the Court issued a binding determination regarding the conformity of the party's accounts with applicable law, potentially including findings on irregular income, prohibited funding sources, or impermissible expenditures. Decisions of this nature may result in warnings, orders to transfer assets to the Treasury, or — in the most severe cases — initiation of closure proceedings. This decision is final and published in the Official Gazette, creating binding precedent for political party financial governance standards in Turkey.
