1839 Andalusian general election (Alhambra)

The snap 1839 Andalusian general election was held on May 13, 1839 after the president dissolved the Majlis on the advice of the prime minister after the division of the National Party into the liberal Modernity Party and the conservative Popular Party. The election resulted in a large victory for the incumbent Popular Party, which was largely obtained because of the unequal distribution of constituencies.

As the recently established First Republic consolidated itself over the previous year, the government now began advocating for large-scale reforms that would modernize the country and end the feudal social order. The early draft of a major land reform was adopted by the legislature in January and both parties supported further efforts to redistribute land away from large estates. The main difference between the parties in this election consisted in the Modernists' promotion of industrial activity and their strong support for an alliance with Britain to prevent from a possible Spanish invasion.
