The resulting coalitions were unstable, and the situation - difficult from the start, with assassination of Polish president Gabriel Narutowicz in December shortly after the elections - culminated in 1926 with the May Coup.

The other ethnoreligious groups, including Uniates, Jews and Orthodox Christians voted largely for parties representing minority groups.Kopstein Jeffrey S. Wittenberg Jason 2003 Who Voted Communist? Reconsidering the Social Bases of Radicalism in Interwar Poland http://polisci.uci.edu/~kopstein/Publications/who_voted_communist.pdf Slavic Review 62 1 87–109 10.2307/3090468 0037-6779 3090468 https://web.archive.org/web/20210413050024/http://polisci.uci.edu/~kopstein/Publications/who_voted_communist.pdf 2021-04-13 Some regional differences were observed; in western Poland, 9% of the Catholic vote went to minority interest parties, which has been attributed in part to German Catholic voting, but in the east, only 1% did. Ethnic Polish support for the right wing was stronger in the east of the country, where 40% voted for right-wing parties, as opposed to the south where 16% did. No detectable regional variation existed among Jews.Kopstein & Wittenberg, p99 The lack of support for the center and right among the major minorities (Jews, Ukrainians and Belarusians) was attributed to ethnic polarisation that was exacerbated by discrimination and chauvinism from Polish officials.Kopstein & Wittenberg, p98 Despite the success of minority parties, parties describing themselves as "Polish" refused to form a government with minority parties, and there was not one non-ethnic Polish cabinet member in the interwar period, though interethnic cooperation could still be seen in Ukrainian and Belarusian support for the Sikorski government.
