1899 Bulgarian parliamentary election

The initial results were approximately: 90 United Liberals, 20 Karavelist Liberals, 30 Tsankovists, Populists and Unionists, 5 Socialists and 5 others.^[3] Several MPs were elected in more than one constituency and were required to choose which one to represent when the Assembly convened, resulting in 17 of the 169 seats being vacant. A further 21 seats were annulled and two MPs died. Snap elections were held on 19 September and 5 December 1899.^[4]

Grekov's government continued its term, however there was a power struggle between the Radoslavists and Stambolovists within the newly united Liberal Party. After by-elections were held, the Radoslavists had a majority on their own and Grekov was forced to resign. He refounded the People's Liberal Party, which he led until his death in 1901. Radoslavist Todor Ivanchov succeeded him as PM in October 1899.

In order to address the ongoing economic crisis, the Grekov and Ivanchov governments privatized the railroad stations in Southern Bulgaria, decreased pensions and salaries and the reintroduced the tithe, with the latter resulting in mass peasant unrest and the founding of BZNS as a political party. The police forces under Radoslavov's Interior ministry brutally suppressed the riots. The assassination of Ștefan Mihăileanu by the VMOK resulted in a diplomatic crisis with Romania. In November 1900 Ivanchov resigned after a crisis in the ruling party. He remained as the leader of an interim government, however he resigned again after a conflict with interior minister Racho Petrov, who succeeded him as interim PM. Ivanchov, Radoslavov and Dimitar Tonchev [bg] were later arrested for corruption and constitutional violations during their terms as ministers, by the First State Court [bg] in 1903.^[5][6]
