NSI 1904 11, 12, 169 Nohlen & Stöver By-elections Several MPs were elected in more than one constituency and were required to choose which one to represent when the Assembly convened, resulting in nine seats being vacated. Two MPs died, two resigned their seats to hold national office and the results in seventeen seats were annulled, resulting in 30 vacancies across 20 constituencies. Snap elections were held on 8 April and 7 October 1901. This resulted in the Progressive Liberal Party becoming the largest party with 40 seats.

NSI 1904 11, 12, 169 Aftermath Following the election, Petko Karavelov became Prime Minister, leading a government of the DP and the PLP, supported by the NP. These were Bulgaria's three major traditional pro-Russian parties. The government granted an amnesty to many of those involved in the 1900 riots and introduced democratization reforms, including greater press freedom and increased Parliamentary oversight of ministers. However voting rights were taken away from Bulgaria's Muslim and Roma populations, a policy that would remain until the 1914 election. The ongoing financial crisis in the country continued to worsen and Karavelov resigned in December 1901, after Parliament narrowly rejected a proposed French loan by the Paribas bank by four votes, with the deciding votes coming from former Democrats in the new Young Democrats Party. PLP leader and Foreign minister Stoyan Danev was appointed PM and lead a minority government heading into the subsequent 1902 election.Kumanov, Milen.
