Aftermath
Following the election, the 12 MPs who were members of the Republican Turkish Party and Communal Liberation Party started boycotting the Assembly of the Republic,[2] claiming that Turkey had putting money into the election campaign to support the government.[3] Following by-elections for the 12 vacant seats in October 1991, they were replaced in the Assembly by UBP members, who then held 46 of the 50 seats.[2]
