In 1927–1930, surnames were not yet in use in Turkey, which would remain true until the Surname Law of 1934. The surnames given in the list are the surnames the members of the cabinet assumed later.
Aftermath
On 12 August, President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk asked Fethi Okyar, a former prime minister (3rd government of Turkey), to form an opposition party, the Liberal Republican Party, in order to try to jump-start multi-party democracy in Turkey for the second time. Due to the Great Depression, the government was losing support to the new party, and İnönü tried to regain strength by forming a new government.
