İsmet İnönü, a close associate of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and a longtime prime minister (1923–24 and 1925–37), succeeded him as president of Turkey (Türkiye) and as leader of the CHP (Republican People’s Party), which at the time enjoyed one-party rule. İnönü later agreed to open Turkey to multiparty rule after World War II, and he never won a majority in a competitive election.
