1973 Turkish general election
General elections were held in Turkey on 14 October 1973. The Republican People's Party (CHP) emerged as the largest party, winning 185 of the 450 seats with 33% of the vote. The Justice Party (AP) led by Süleyman Demirel, which had won a majority in the previous elections in 1969, lost over a third of its seats, winning just 149. This was a result of two new parties, the National Salvation Party and the Democratic Party, splitting the right-wing vote.
