Özet:

On the closure of the Terakkiperver Republic Fraksi, which is the first attempt to move into a multi-party political life in Turkey, the Free Republic Fraksi, which is the second opposition party of the Turkish political life, was established immediately after it to gather the increasing opposition against the Republic People's Fraksi under a roof and to eliminate the criticism of the Western people against the one-party power in Turkey. But many parties saw that the people were not ready for life, and this party also destroyed itself. Thus, the multi-party transition practices that Atatürk planned to implement in accordance with the Republic he founded, which is an indispensable element of democracy, have failed. It has been seen that the youth of the Republic of Turkey has not yet sitting in the stones, the process of adaptation to the new regime of the people has not been completed. The fact that the current conditions are not favorable has resulted in the fact that democracy came later to our country. By 1946, Turkey was governed by a single party system. But the II. After the World War, the need for democracy in the country has emerged by the influence of internal and external elements, and the CHP government has been able to respond to these demands.The people ruled by the one-party rule until 1946 have now begun to feel discomforted by this situation. The current Prime Minister Ismet Inönü, though many party parties are not volunteer to move to life, has not been unconscious in the face of the country’s need for Democracy. Furthermore, the opinions of foreign countries on this issue that the transition to a multi-party political life in Turkey is a serious need have made it inevitable to take this step. Celal Bayar, Adnan Menderes, Refik Koraltan and Fuat Bridge, who strongly opposed the CHP's land reform bill, resigned from their parties with the "Fourth Takrir" crisis and founded the Democratic Party on 7 January 1946. As the first step of the transition to democracy, the National Development Party, which was still established in 1946, participated in the election, the Celal Bayar, who left the CHP, and the Democratic Party, which was established by those with them. In our study, the process of transition to the punished multi-party life, the 1946 elections, the first test of our Democracy, and the 1950 elections, in which the people voted for the first time with their own free will, in real sense the Democracy found the body, the reflections of these two elections throughout the country, the effects on the people, the appearance of competition, the political parties’ election preparations and the demands of propaganda and the methods they apply will also be compared in terms of both elections, the methods of implementation, the current results, the election preparations and the methods of propaganda of the parties. Our goal is to communicate to the reader the punishment, difficult process and the struggle for the establishment of democracy in our country.
