26th government of Turkey

The prime minister, İsmet İnönü, was the leader of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and a former president of Turkey.

AP claimed to be the successor of Democrat Party (DP), which had been banned by the leaders of the 1960 coup.

In the relatively short span of time in which the 26th government existed, the Justice Party tried to lift the ban on DP politicians, but the former coup partisans opposed this policy.

In the last month of the coalition government, the main issue was the idea of an amnesty act for the former DP members.

According to an interview, İnönü thought that the split of opinion on this issue made the government nonfunctional, and he resigned.
