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
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.
