Turkmenistan launched its second political party on Tuesday. The 300-member Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs held its inaugural meeting two years after the president ordered the creation of a multi-party system in the ex-Soviet republic. The new party made its debut under a large photo of Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov. Created under the auspices of the country’s “Political Parties Act,” which was adopted in January by Turkmenistan’s parliament, the new party faces an uphill battle in its electoral fight against the president’s Democratic Party in the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled to take place sometime in 2013.
