27th government of Turkey
The 27th government of Turkey (25 June 1962 – 25 December 1963) is the second coalition government in the history of Turkey. The prime minister, İsmet İnönü, was the leader of Republican People's Party (CHP) and a former president.
Background
[edit]After a short coalition with Justice Party (AP) in the previous government, the new coalition partners were New Turkey Party (YTP) of Ekrem Alican, Republican Villagers Nation Party (CKMP), and the Independents.[1] However, Osman Bölükbaşı, the leader of CKMP, pulled out of the coalition government and formed a new party named Nation Party. Even after this split, however, the government could receive the vote of confidence.

Aftermath
[edit]The local elections held on 17 November 1963 showed that the two smaller partners of the coalition were losing votes to the Justice Party (AP), the main opposition party.[5] On 25 November, during İnönü's visit to the United States for the funeral of the late President John F. Kennedy, the coalition government disbanded.
