In the elections held on 2 May 1954, the Republican Nation Party won 5 seats due in large part to Bölükbaşı's rhetoric and campaigning.

When he won a seat at the elections on October 27, along with three more from his party, Bölükbaşı was released on immunity.

Prime Minister Adnan Menderes stated that the reason of statue change was the abnormality of voters' decision: the percentage of CMP votes was much higher in Kırşehir Province than it was in Turkey in general.

Shortly afterwards, on 2 July 1957, Bölükbaşı was arrested for the alleged offense of insulting the parliament.

Despite his inability to campaign, his party increased its votes and Bölükbaşı kept his seat in the elections held on 27 October 1957.
