1991 general elections[edit]
They made an alliance titled "Holy Alliance" with Welfare Party and Reformist Democracy Party on 20 October 1991 general elections.[3] However, in 1991, according to election rules, no more than two parties could form an alliance. So MÇP's and IDP's deputy candidates attended with Welfare Party lists. This alliance won 16.9% vote and sent 62 MPs to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (which had a total of 550 seats).[4][5]
Dissolution of the party[edit]
Delegates decided to dissolve the party on 27 December 1992 and party dissolved on 24 January 1993. All members joined the newly opened (and refounded) Nationalist Movement Party.
