Results

By-elections

was elected in two constituencies and one MP did not take up his seat in order to hold state office (both from the People's Party elected on the NP-PLP list). By-elections were held on 27 May 1912, one seat was won by the broad socialists and one by the NP-PLP coalition (Yanko Sakazov and Grigor Kotsov).

Aftermath

The ruling pro-Entente NP–PLP coalition won a majority, NP's leader Geshov continued his term as PM and PLP's leader Stoyan Danev became Chairman of Parliament. The government's main goal was to conduct the diplomatic negotiations and military preparations for the First Balkan War, which ended in a victory for the Balkan League. However, Geshov's approach during the negotiations for the subsequent Treaty of London conflicted with Tsar Ferdinand's hardline maximalist stance and he resigned on the day the treaty was signed. He became Chairman of Parliament and Danev succeeded him as PM. The outbreak of the Second Balkan War and Bulgaria's military defeats resulted in the new government's resignation.

Ferdinand appointed Vasil Radoslavov as PM, who formed a coalition of the pro-Triple Alliance liberal parties and elections were scheduled for November 1913.
