Came to power is correct. At times english is english irrespective of the context.
we ain't in a govt class here....this is English language and has nofin to do wif COUp!!!
"Took to power" is actually a grammatically correct and idiomatic expression.
In this context, "took to power" means to seize control or authority, often in a sudden or forceful way. And in 1966 the military "took to power" using a coup. This was both forceful and sudden.
Example:
"The military took to power in a coup."
came to power is appropriate in that sentence. came to power is willing going to something legal or legitimate
"Come to power" (or "come into power") refers to the act of gaining, attaining, or assuming political authority or control, often through elections or inheritance. While similar to "take power" or "seize power," which can imply force or direct action, "come to power" is a common, often neutral, way to describe a transition.
it is took over power.when u say came to power,it means dat it was legitimate meanwhile it wasnt.it was a coup
