1932 Kresimirian Assembly Election

This was the second general election to be held since the founding of the Republic in 1921, after the 1922 elections.

The election took place in a political climate marked by factional infighting in the Revolutionary People’s Party (RPP), the party of the state’s founders, which before the election held the majority of seats in the Assembly. The election is notable because it was the first time the RPP lost their majority in the Assembly, winning only 8 out of 20 seats.

Following Basic’s 1924 founding of the Sons of Kresimir, in January 1932, Eward Matek, another one of the six original founders of the Republic, formally established the liberal Civic Renewal Front (CRF). The new party immediately gained a presence in the Assembly when four sitting RPP senators defected to run under its party line in the upcoming elections, causing the RPP to lose its majority in the Assembly.

District III (Pologradska)

District IV (Severnivaraje)

District V (Moskiprovac)

Dora Martinovic (RPP) did not run for re-election.

District VI (Viskogorje)

District VII (Ravna Skrad)

District VIII (Zahodecelska)

District IX (Decelska)

District X (Moraviskameja)

As usual, the turnout in Moraviskameja was extremely low (est. 7% of the population). This was in large part due to the Faith Restriction Clause (Article 5, Clause 2 of the Kresimirian Constitution), which denies the right to vote to anybody who does not follow the Kresimirian faith, excluding the vast Bosken population in the District. Despite this, as in the 1922 and 1924 elections, widespread BRC-21 intimidation and suppression of Kresimirian voters, along with alleged vote manipulation, resulted in the re-election of the two independent Bosken-aligned Senators.
