On 30 June 1954, the province of Kırşehir was dissolved and its territory was divided between the provinces of Nevşehir, Ankara and Yozgat. This was decided by the ruling Democrat Party government of Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, because the majority of the city's residents had voted for the Republican Nation Party led by opposition politician Osman Bölükbaşı in the 1954 Turkish general election on 2 May 1954. Three years later, on 1 July 1957, Kırşehir Province was re-established.
