Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 17 September 1887 to elect the 156 elected members of the National Assembly, with a further 52 appointed by the king.

Background

Following the April 1886 elections a government was formed by Milutin Garašanin of the Serbian Progressive Party. However, it collapsed on 1 June 1887.[1] It was replaced by a new government consisting of the People's Radical Party and Liberal Party and led by Liberal Jovan Ristić. The new government's first action was to dissolve the National Assembly. A decree on 13 August set the election date as 17 September.[1]

Results

The People's Radical Party won 81 seats and the Liberal Party 61, with the Progressives failing to win a seat.[2] Not all seats were filled and supplementary elections were held later.[1] The king appointed 36 Liberals and 16 Radicals to balance the result.[1]

Aftermath

Todor Tucaković was appointed president of the National Assembly and Paja Vuković as vice president.[1]

The coalition government led by Ristić remained in office until December, when it was replaced by a Radicals-only government headed by Sava Grujić.[2] A decree on 11 January 1888 dissolved the National Assembly and set early elections for March 1888.[1]
