In the elections held on 14 October 1973, the CHP gained 185 seats and MSP gained 48 seats out of a total of 450. The CHP was a social-democratic party and the MSP was an Islamist party. But despite the vast difference in ideology, the two parties formed a coalition.
In March 1974, the coalitions foundation was strained in the Güzel İstanbul Affair. The MSP side wanted to remove a nude sculpture that had been erected in Istanbul in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the republic however such a removal was not in line with the democratic views of the CHP. The CHP ended up going along with the wishes that the sculpture be removed in order to keep the MSP in coalition with them.
