Muhammed Ali Fatih Erbakan (born 1 January 1979, in Ankara) is a Turkish engineer and politician who is the founder and leader of the Islamic fundamentalist[2] New Welfare Party (YRP).

He went to England to continue his higher education in pursuit of a Master's degree, but returned to Turkey in 2005 when his mother, Nermin Erbakan, died.

He announced his candidacy for the 2023 Turkish presidential election,[1] but later dropped out of the race and endorsed incumbent president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

[10] Erbakan also aims to lift a law that protects women and children against domestic violence,[11][12] calling it "fascist and feminist".

"[18] Erbakan supports closing the Kürecik Radar Station, operated by NATO, saying the "intelligence shared with the US and the UK is directly used to protect Israel".
