1973 Constantinopolitan general election (Queen of Cities)

General elections were in Constantinople on May 6, 1973. The 1973 election was the last one under the city-state's period one-party rule, as a the Tulip Revolution of 1975 would ultimately put an end to the 40-year long rule of the Citizens' Front. Under the new leadership of Nicolas Goryemkine (who had replaced Dervish in 1971), the Citizens' Front won a diminished supermajority. The 1973 election was marked by the emergence of numerous opposition parties under the umbrella of the Sky Blue Coalition, a pro-democracy alliance whose members ranged from the left-wing to the center-right of the political spectrum. Meanwhile, the right-wing populist and anti-immigration Democratic Renewal Party gained prominence as it opposed the mass migration that had begun in the 1960s and gained significance in the 1970s.
