Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 23 February 1914.[1] to elect members of the XVII Ordinary National Assembly. The result was a victory for the Liberal Concentration, an alliance of the Liberal Party, the People’s Liberal Party and the Young Liberals Party, which won 126 of the 245 seats, achieving a majority. Voter turnout was 67%.[2] The coalition won with large margins in the newly incorporated territories, having promised certain degrees of religious and cultural minority rights.[3]

Having achieved a majority the pro-Triple Alliance liberal coalition government continued its term and despite its initial declaration of neutrality eventually oversaw Bulgaria’s entry into WW1.
All of the opposition parties except the Narrow Socialists (NP, PLP, DP, RDP, BZNS and BRSDP-o) had formed a “Civic Bloc” opposition coalition in 1917. In the summer of 1918 the dire military situation led to Tsar Ferdinand dismissing the government and appointed DP leader Malinov as PM. Only the RDP joined his government, but the other parties of the bloc agreed to support it.[3] Despite being made up of pro-Entente parties, the new government vowed to “fight until a victorious end to the war”. After the worsening of the military situation and during the ongoing Radomir Rebellion, the government signed an armistice with the Entente on 29 September 1918. Ferdinand abdicated on the 3rd of October. Later that month Malinov formed a government of national unity, including the DP, RDP, NP, BZNS and the Broad Socialists. However, he resigned the following month, after the Romanian occupation of Southern Dobruja.
Foreign minister Teodorov from the NP formed another government of national unity including the same parties and the PLP. Three ministrerial positions were given to the BZNS, representing both of its factions (Dragiev and Stamboliyski). In May 1919 Teodorov formed a second government, which excluded the DP.[5]
