Nation Party (Turkey, 1962)

In 1962 the name was reused when Osman Bölükbaşı and a group of deputies and senators left the CKMP after a conflict about whether CKMP should join İsmet İnönü's 27th government of Turkey, and founded a new party, for which they reused the name "Nation Party".

[1] The new Nation Party, with Osman Bölükbaşı as president won 31 seats in parliament and 2 in the senate in the 1965 elections, joining the coalition government led by Suat Hayri Ürgüplü.

However, Osman Bölükbaşı was not a part of the cabinet and publicly criticized it.

In 1972, Osman Bölükbaşı resigned, and retired Chief of Staff Cemal Tural became the president of the Nation Party.

After the 1980 Turkish coup d'état, the party was banned with the Law No.
