Tenants' Union (political party)

Last updated

The Tenants' Union (Estonian : Üürnikkude Liit) was a political party in Estonia.

History

The party first ran in national elections in 1923, [1] when it won a single seat in the parliamentary elections with 1.3% of the vote. [2] [3] Despite maintaining their vote share in the 1926 elections, [4] the party lost its only seat in the Riigikogu due to the electoral threshold being raised to require parties to win a minimum of two seats. [5]

The party did not contest any further elections. [1]
