The general election held in June 2015 resulted in a hung parliament, with coalition negotiations eventually proving unsuccessful.
As a result, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called a snap election for November 2015, thereby necessitating the formation of an interim election government as required by the Turkish Constitution.
The interim election government, the first in Turkish history, was formed by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who sent out invitations to politicians from all parties to take part. Apart from Davutoğlu"s Justice and Development Party (AKP), only the Peoples" Democratic Party (HDP) opted to take part, while the Republican People"s Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) declined their invitations.
Just under a month after taking office, both the HDP ministers taking part in the government resigned, leaving the positions of European Affairs Minister and Development Minister vacant.
