Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 12 December 1880 to elect members of the National Assembly.[1] As expected, the elections resulted in a majority for the government, whose supporters won 94 seats, whilst Radicals won only 18 seats.[1][2] By January 1881 the number of government supporters had risen to over 100, whilst the Radicals had split.[3]

Background

Prince Milan signed a decree dissolving the National Assembly and calling elections on 5 November.[4] Unlike the previous elections in which many candidates were returned unopposed, most seats were contested.[1]

Results

The Progressive Party won 127 seats while the Liberal Party won 7.[5]
