Unlike the previous elections in 1946, the 1950 elections took place in a calm atmosphere. The results meant that Republican People's Party (CHP) was ousted from power for the first time since the foundation of the republic. Due to the electoral system designed to boost the dominant party's parliamentary numbers, the Democrat Party won 85% of the seats with only 55% of the popular vote. The CHP won 14% of the seats despite receiving nearly 40% of the popular vote.
