The Erbakan cabinet was the 54th government of Turkey , which was led by Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan from June 28, 1996 to June 18, 1997 .
After the CHP under Deniz Baykal withdrew from the coalition government with the Doğru Yol Partisi DYP from Tansu Çiller , there was a transitional government and new elections. The election of December 24, 1995 was won by Necmettin Erbakan's Islamic Refah Partisi (RP) with 21.4% of the vote. Çillers DYP was only third strongest behind the Anavatan Partisi (ANAP).
The winner of the election was the Islamist RP with 21.4% of the vote. However, none of the other parties wanted to form a coalition with the RP. The second strongest force was the DYP from Çiller, which received only 19.36% of the vote, but had more seats in parliament because of the electoral law than the third strongest party, the Anavatan Partisi (ANAP) with 19.65%. ANAP and DYP started coalition talks, but could not agree on a joint government, so the ANAP had to start negotiations with the RP, which had previously been branded as anti-constitutional by all other parties.
Only after the Chief of Staff visited Tansu Ciller, DYP and ANAP agreed three months after the election on the formation of a minority coalition, which was tolerated by the Democratic Sol Parti (DSP) and the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP). Already at the end of May 1996, however, Çiller resigned the coalition after disputes about its alleged involvement in irregularities during privatization sales by her previous government. In order to forestall a vote of no confidence requested by the RP, Yılmaz resigned on June 6th. Subsequently, the President again entrusted Erbakan as chairman of the strongest parliamentary group with the formation of a government, which this time managed to form a coalition with the DYP.
But the military leadership did not accept the Islamist-led government. The military intervened and, on February 28, 1997, adopted comprehensive measures to reduce religious influence on the state. In May, the public prosecutor's office initiated a ban on the RP for violating the constitution by instrumentalizing Islam for political purposes. On June 18, 1997, Erbakan resigned.
Although DYP, RP and the Büyük Birlik Partisi (BBP) agreed to form a new government led by Tansu Çiller, President Demirel tasked the leader of the Motherland Party (ANAP), Mesut Yılmaz, with the formation of a new government. On June 30, 1997, Yılmaz concluded a new coalition government with the Democratic Sol Parti (DSP) under Bülent Ecevit and the Democrat Türkiye Partisi (DTP) under Hüsamettin Cindoruk , which had split off from the DYP after the military intervention. The RP was dissolved by the Constitutional Court in January 1998 and Erbakan was excluded from politics for five years.
