General elections were held in Turkey on 20 October 1991. It was the first by the ruling Motherland Party to be contested without its founding leader Turgut Özal who had become Turkish president two years previously. The result was a swing against Özal’s former party in favour of its fierce centre-right rival the True Path Party led by Süleyman Demirel. The vote saw two additional parties cross the 10 percent barrier to enter parliament.
