1973 Turkish parliamentary elections

The 1973 Turkish parliamentary elections, held on October 14, were significant for ushering in a coalition government. The Justice Party (AP) won the most seats but did not secure an outright majority, leading to a coalition with the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). This election reflected ongoing political instability and rising social tensions in Turkey, influenced by economic challenges and ideological conflicts. It marked a shift towards more fragmented politics, with multiple parties gaining representation, and set the stage for continued political developments in Turkey during the 1970s.
