"Halkçı Parti" (People's Party) was the continuation of the former CHP and was the only left wing participant of the election. "Milliyetçi Demokrasi Partisi" (Nationalist Democracy Party) was founded by the military junta of the time. ANAP was seen as the successor of AP by some circles but Süleyman Demirel, the leader of AP, would later form DYP to challenge the power of Turgut Özal's ANAP.
