Aftermath

The local elections held on 17 November 1963 showed that the two smaller partners of the coalition were losing votes to the Justice Party (AP), the main opposition party.[4] On 25 November, during İnönü's visit to the United States for the funeral of the late President John F. Kennedy, the coalition government disbanded.
