The Polish legislative election, 1922 lasted from 2 to 12 November and was the second election in the Second Polish Republic. The elections were won by Polish Right party, National Populist Association (Związek Ludowo-Narodowy), however it did not obtain a majority - it got only 98 out of 444 seats (22% of total). One of the dominant forces over the next few years would be the Chjeno-Piast coalition. The resulting coalitions were unstable, and the situation - difficult from the start, with assassination of Polish president Gabriel Narutowicz in December shortly after the elections - culminated in 1926 with the May Coup.
