Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia in early March 1893.^[1] Although the People's Radical Party had won a large majority in the 1889 elections, by 1893 a Liberal government led by Prime Minister Jovan Avakumović was in place.^[1]

The Liberals and People's Radical Party both won 64 seats, with the Progressive Party winning four.^[2] However, Liberals had manipulated the elections, which would have otherwise resulted in a majority for the People's Radical Party.^[3] As a result, the People's Radical Party threatened to boycott the Assembly, meaning the quorum of 68 members could not be achieved.^[3]

A coup d'état was carried out by King Alexander on 13 April, with the Liberal government of Jovan Avakumović removed from office and replaced by a cabinet headed by Lazar Dokić and composed of People's Radical Party members.^[4] The National Assembly was dissolved, and fresh elections called.^[4]
