Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 22 June 1897 to elect members of the National Assembly.
Results
A total of 191 members were elected, with a further 63 appointed.[1] The elections were boycotted by the Liberal Party, while the Serbian Progressive Party had dissolved itself prior to the elections. As a result, the People's Radical Party won all the seats. However, several members of the Liberals and Progressives were named amongst the appointees to the National Assembly.[1]
Aftermath
Nikola Pašić was appointed president of the National Assembly and Dimitrije Katić as vice president.[1]
The Radical Party's Đorđe Simić remained Prime Minister, but was dismissed by the king in October 1897 and replaced by Vladan Đorđević, who headed a cabinet whose members (with the exception of the Minister of War) were appointed by the king, largely composed of independents and Progressives, with a single Liberal.[2] On 14 March 1898 the Assembly was dissolved, with the intention of holding new elections.[1] A decree was issued on 18 April setting the election date as 23 May.[1]
