The elections

On the last day of 1977, the 41st government of Turkey came to an end because of vote of no confidence in the interpellation voting.[1] The president asked Bülent Ecevit, the leader of CHP, to form a government. In addition to independents, two one-MP parties, namely Republican Reliance Party (CGP) and Democratic Party (DP), also supported him, and all supporters were given a seat in the government.
