1950 Elections Post The Ulus Newspaper s Opposition to Pass

After the results of 1950 elections with DP’s ultimate victory, RPP became the opposition party and thus required a reconstruction regarding its new political stance due to the connections with the state. This situation was also valid in the publication organ of RPP, Ulus Newspaper. In this period of time, RPP, which is deprived of the opportunities of the power, needed Ulus much more than the previous era to be effectively noticed in the public opinion. At this point, Ulus became the factor having increased its value by the opposition. The most important development about the future of Ulus after the elections was appointment of Nihat Erim as the director of the newspaper.
