Following an application by the Yenilik Party, the Court of Cassation (Yargıtay) Chief Public Prosecutor's Office sent Yeni Parti a notice regarding a name change; CHP leader Özgür Özel said they would not change the name, but if the Constitutional Court finds "there is confusion," they would proceed with a minor change.

Opposition and foreign press Sözcü and Sputnik Türkiye focused on Özel's statements: according to legal experts, there is no name similarity, and the decision rests with the Constitutional Court.
