Aftermath Justice Party had a majority in the parliament. Soon, however, two opposition groups appeared in the party; those supporting the former Democratic Party politicians and those trying to form a rightist party. Thus, the government ended because of a vote of no confidence in the interpellation voting on February 11, 1970. The next government, however, was again founded by Demirel.
