Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 7 September 1883 to elect the elected members of the National Assembly. The result was a victory for the opposition People's Radical Party and Liberal Party, which together won 102 seats. The government led by Milan Piroćanac resigned, but King Milan I refused to allow the Radicals to form a government, instead appointing Nikola Hristić as prime minister.[1]
Background
[edit]The National Assembly elected in 1880 was dissolved on 11 January 1883.[2] A royal decree set elections for 7 September.[2]
Results
[edit]The People's Radical Party won 72 seats and the Liberal Party 30, with the Progressives winning only 24.[2] The king appointed a further 44 members.[2] Due to unrest, elections were not held in eight districts.

Aftermath
[edit]The new Assembly convened on 15 September and was formally opened on 22 September.[2] Sima Nestorović was appointed president of the National Assembly and Arsa Drenovac as vice president.[2]
However, the Timok Rebellion broke out around a month later. Most of the Radical Party's committee were jailed, although its leader Nikola Pašić managed to flee abroad.[2] The National Assembly was reconvened on 30 December, but dissolved on the same day, with early elections called for January 1884.[2]
