Parliamentary elections were held in Lithuania between 8 and 10 May 1926.[1] The Lithuanian Popular Peasants' Union remained the largest party, winning 24 of the 85 seats in the third Seimas.[2] They formed a left-wing coalition government with the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, which was overthrown in a military coup in December.[3] The Seimas was disbanded in 1927 and Lithuanian Nationalist Union leader Antanas Smetona was appointed President.[3]
