General elections were held in Romania on December 12, 1928.[1] The Chamber of Deputies was elected on 12 December, whilst the Senate was elected in three stages on 15, 17 and 19 December.[1] The result was a victory for the National Peasants' Party-led alliance, which won 348 of the 387 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 105 of the 110 seats in the Senate.[2] Of the 348 Chamber seats won by the alliance, the National Peasants' Party won 326, the Social Democratic Party won 9, the German Party won 8, the Hungarian People's Party won 2 and three were won by other parties.[2] It is generally regarded as the freest election ever held in Romania until the 1990s.[3]
