Turkish general election, 1987
- Turkish general election, 1987
Turkey's 11th general election was held on October 29, 1987. This election is important for two events. Military junta's restrictions on former politicians were lifted so they joined to the political scene again. Also, ANAP retained the majority in the parliament by losing votes but gaining more seats, thanks to the electoral system of the country.
The 1987 election saw the return of the religious oriented base of Necmettin Erbakan and the symbol names of the politics in 1970's, Bülent Ecevit and Süleyman Demirel. Bülent Ecevit leaded DSP because CHP was closed down after the coup of 1980. Süleyman Demirel founded DYP to challenge the power of Turgut Özal on conservative liberal votes.
