1949 Constantinopolitan general election (Queen of Cities)

The 1949 Constantinopolitan general election was held on May 8, 1949. The Citizens' Front that had ruled the country since 1935 won another landslide victory, gaining the largest share of the popular vote and the largest number of seats of any party in the country's history up to that point. The three opposition parties significantly underperformed as each of them lost seats. Following the election, Emre Dervish continued on as Constantinople's prime minister. The 1949 election was the first general election in which women were allowed to vote and to be elected, resulting in the election of 14 female deputies.

The 1949 marked the end of the Great Reforms as the Citizens' Front completed most of its agenda by 1945, instead focusing on the booming economy and the complex international context of the early Cold War.
