Özet:

The Democratic Party was founded on 7 January 1946 as a result of the conversion of the opposition movement out of the CHP into a political structure. In the elections held on July 21, 1946, the DP was not very successful because of the electoral system, but the votes he received in the major cities were quite remarkable. The DP came to power as a result of the one-degree electoral system implemented in the 1950 elections and the increasing contact with the people to the villages. According to the 1950 elections, the DP, who lost the votes in 1954, has yet reached an enormous majority in Parliament. As tensions between power and opposition increased before the 1957 elections, the opposition in the DP also raised their voices. In the 1957 election, the DP’s votes fell below 50 percent and the party lost blood. In the 1960s, the press began to publish elections. Both power and opposition party leaders met with the people, pay attention to visits in the country to explain their policies. The most important part of the foreign trips that politicians have made is to help the visiting region people keep the pulse and to determine their policies in the light of the data they obtain. Particularly the trips made before the elections, while the executions of the DP appeared to us as a propaganda element; the trips after the elections gave us the opportunity to make an account of the party’s policy. Adnan Menderes made visits to Adana, Mersin, Maraş and Hatay in the 1960s when the DP spent a lot of days in power. The Prime Minister took part in these visits in the basics and opening ceremonies, visited the municipality, the provincial administrations, listened to the troubles of the parties and gave instructions to the relevant ministers to resolve the problems. During his visit to the Prime Minister, the welcoming of property and military officials as well as a crowded community of citizens was a separate moral source for the Prime Minister and the DPs.
