Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria in January and February 1880.[1][2] Low voter turnout in some constituencies led to the results being invalidated and the elections re-run.[1] Unlike in former elections, the government did not attempt to influence the result,[1] resulting in the opposition Liberal Party retaining their majority in the National Assembly.[3] Of the 162 seats, the Liberal Party won 103 and the Conservative Party won 50.[3] When the newly elected Assembly convened, Liberal Party member Petko Karavelov was elected Chairperson.[3]
Following the election the government resigned, but incumbent Prime Minister Kliment Turnovski was asked to form another government.[3] Ultimately Dragan Tsankov formed a government and became Prime Minister on 8 April.[4]
