Parliamentary elections were held in Czechoslovakia on 27 October 1929. ^[1] The Republican Party of Farmers and Peasants, emerged as the largest party, winning 46 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 24 seats in the Senate. Voter turnout was 90.2% in the Chamber election and 78.8% for the Senate. ^[2] The rightward shift of the 1925 elections was reversed, with moderate centre-left groups (Social Democrats and Czechoslovak National Socialists) increasing their vote shares whilst the Communist Party suffered a set-back. ^{[3] [4]}

Background

The 1929 election took place at a time of relative prosperity, just before the Great Depression. ^[5]

The Communist Party was the sole multinational political party in the country at the time. ^[6] It had emerged as a major force in the 1925 election and had around 150,000 members in 1928. ^[6] In 1929 leadership shifted to a younger generation and a major purge of party ranks took place. ^[6]

The Czechoslovak National Democrats contested the election in Slovakia together with the Slovak National Party led by Martin Rázus. ^[7] Nevertheless, relations between Rázus and the leader of the National Democrats in Slovakia Milan Ivanka were strained, as the former was fiercely autonomist and the latter a strong supporter of Czechoslovak nationhood. ^[7]

In Slovakia, Hlinka's Slovak People's Party resigned from the coalition government on 8 October 1929. ^{[8] [9]} The move followed a long controversy around the legal case of the party newspaper editor Vojtech Tuka, who was sentenced for espionage and treason on 5 October 1929. ^[10] The Tuka affair had resulted in an internal rift in the party, with the expelled anti-Tuka faction (led by Juriga and Tománek) setting up their own Juriga's Slovak People's Party. ^[11]

Results

Hlinka's Slovak People's Party saw a decline compared to the 1925 vote, being reduced from 23 seats to 19. ^[9] One interpretation is that two years of government participation without achieving Slovak autonomy had weakened the party. ^[11] Moreover, the party had an ambiguous stance during the Tuka affair. ^[11] The Juriga faction failed to make any impact in the election. ^[11]

The Czechoslovak Social Democrats won five seats from Slovakia, an increase by three seats compared to the 1925 election. ^[12] The Communist Party on the other hand retreated from 5 seats in Slovakia, compared to 8 seats in 1925. ^[13] Magyar and German parties won 9 seats from Slovakia. ^[9]

The Czechoslovak National Socialists, which lacked widespread support in the area, managed to win two seat from Slovakia. ^[14] This was the best result for the party in Slovakia during the years of the First Republic. ^[14] Another Czech party trying to build a base in Slovakia was the Czechoslovak People's Party, which managed to get its local leader Martin Mičura elected. ^[14]

The Jewish Party, which had failed to win representation in 1925, managed to win two seats through an alliance with three Polish parties. ^{[15] [16]} Its deputies were Ludvík Singer from Bohemia and Julius Reiz from Slovakia. ^{[15] [16]}

General Radola Gajda's list ('League against Bound Tickets'), which called for the formation of a corporativist state, failed to make a major headway but won three seats (Gajda, Jiří Stříbrný and Karel Pergler). ^{[5] [17]} Gajda's political line was fascist, anti-Semitic and anti-German. ^[17]

Nové Zámky

The Nové Zámky senatorial district consisted of the Nové Zámky 16th electoral district and the Košice 20th electoral district, two districts that together hosted around 96% of the Hungarian and 56% of the German population of Slovakia. ^{[24] [25] [26]} The percentage achieved by the Communist Party in the Nové Zámky 16th electoral district was the highest in the country in the 1929 vote. ^{[24] [18]}

Hlinka's Slovak People's Party fielded Vojtech Tuka in the Košice 20th electoral district, but he failed to win a seat. ^[27] Fielding Tuka in a district where the party lacked strong support displayed the ambiguity the party had towards him during his treason trials. ^[27]

1. Rusyn parties usually ran with Czechoslovak parties.

Aftermath

On 7 December 1929 František Udržal formed a coalition government of Czechoslovak Agrarians, Czechoslovak People's Party, Czechoslovak Social Democrats, Czechoslovak National Socialists, Czechoslovak National Democrats, Czechoslovak Traders' Party, German Agrarians and German Social Democrats. ^[5] Whilst the cabinet was politically broadened after the 1929 elections, it lacked representation from Slovak populists, German Clericals or the Magyar parties. ^{[8] [10]}
