Parliamentary elections were held in Czechoslovakia on 27 October 1929.[1] The result was a victory for the Republican Party of Agricultural and Smallholder People, which won 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]
Results
The 1929 election took place at a juncture of relative prosperity, just before the Great Depression.[3] The rightward shift of the 1925 election was reversed, moderate centre-left groups (Social Democrats and Czechoslovak National Socialists) increased their vote shares whilst the Communist Party suffered a set-back.[4][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 Jewish Party, which had failed to win representation in 1925, managed to win two seats through an alliance with three Polish parties.[7][8] Its deputies were Ludvík Singer from Bohemia and Julius Reiz from Slovakia.[7][8]
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).[3][9] Gajda's political line was fascist, anti-Semitic and anti-German.[9]
In Slovakia, the Hlinka's Slovak People's Party resigned from the coalition government on October 8, 1929.[10][11] 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 October 5, 1929.[12] 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.[13]
In the election the party saw a decline compared to the 1925 vote and it went from 23 seats in 1925 to 19 seats.[11] One interpretation is that two years of government participation without achieving Slovak autonomy had weakened the party.[13] Moreover the party had an ambiguous stance during the Tuka affair.[13] The Juriga faction failed to make any impact in the election.[13]
The Czechoslovak National Democrats contested the election in Slovakia together with the Slovak National Party led by Martin Rázus.[14] 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.[14]
The Czechoslovak Social Democrats won five seats from Slovakia, an increase by three seats compared to the 1925 election.[15] The Communist Party on the other hand retreated from 5 seats in Slovakia, compared to 8 seats in 1925.[16] Magyar and German parties won 9 seats from Slovakia.[11]
The Czechoslovak National Socialists, which lacked widespread support in the area, managed to win two seat from Slovakia.[17] This was the best result for the party in Slovakia during the years of the First Republic.[17] 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.[17]
On December 7, 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.[3] Whilst the cabinet was politically broadened after the 1929 election, it lacked representation from Slovak populists, German Clericals or the Magyar parties.[10][12]

Nové Zámky
The Nové Zámky senatorial district consisted of the Nové Zámky 16th electoral district and the Kosice 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]

The Czechoslovak People's Party contested under the name 'Christian People's Party' in the Užhorod electoral district.[18]
