The Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan (Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň Senagatçylar we Telekeçiler partiýasy) is a political party in Turkmenistan. The party originated in August 2012 as the first legal opposition party in the country.[2] On 10 June 2013 Party leader Ovezmammed Mammedov was elected to the Assembly of Turkmenistan in a by-election held for five vacant seats.

In December 2017 delegates at the second national party conference elected Saparmyrat Ovganov as the party's new leader.[3]

Criticism

[edit]

The party supports the policy of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow and Serdar. According to critics, the party appeared only to create the illusion of multiparty elections.[4]
