The ruling pro-Entente NP–PLP coalition led by Ivan Geshov won a majority and approved the constitutional changes prepared by the previous government, notably allowing the government and the monarch to approve secret treaties without Parliamentary oversight. Afterwards the Grand Assembly dissolved itself and Tsar Ferdinand scheduled elections for an Ordinary National Assembly for September.Tsurakov, Angel.
