From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
