From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary between 29 April and 8 May 1906.[1] The parties of the allied opposition received 87.96% of the vote. The main party of the opposition, the Party for Independence and '48, won a parliamentary majority, winning 253 of the 400 seats. However, the party failed to govern effectively as cleavages in the party led to several splits and due to the compromise made with Franz Joseph I.
