The İnönü II cabinet was the second government of Turkey, which was led by İsmet İnönü from March 6, 1924 to November 22, 1924 .

In the elections in June 1923, only Müdâfaa-i hukuk cemiyetleri was allowed, which was renamed Halk Fırkası (HP, from 1935 Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi ) in September 1923 . After the Sultan's flight, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey passed a constitutional amendment on October 29, 1923, declaring Turkey a republic and the President as head of state. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was elected the first president . After the republic was proclaimed with a one-party system, state founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk commissioned İnönü to form a government.

With the escape of the sultan, Abdülmecid II became the new caliph . For Ataturk, however, the caliphate was an obstacle on the way to a modern Turkey and he sparked a discussion about its abolition. In the winter of 1923/24 there was a campaign by supporters of the Caliphate and the House of Osman . The President and the government reacted harshly. An "independence tribunal" was dispatched to warn the press and sentenced the vocal supporters of the caliphate to long imprisonment. With the beginning of the new session of the Turkish National Assembly on March 3, 1924, the MPs passed a law that provided for the abolition of the caliphate and the expulsion of all family members of the Osman dynasty.

The Sharia Ministry, a holdover from the time of the Ottoman Empire, and the Ministry of the General Staff, which was only temporarily established during the Turkish War of Liberation, were abolished. İnönü formally resigned and formed a new government.

After the minority of the "Ottomanists" saw the HF as marginalized, they left the HF, and 32 MPs founded the Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Fırkası (TCF). Unlike the HF, the TCP also advocated nationalism and secularism , but wanted less centralism and authoritarianism . The popularity of the new party in the country's major cities was so great that Ataturk decided to act quickly: He dismissed İnönü and appointed the liberal Fethi Okyar as the new prime minister.
