Federal elections were held in Czechoslovakia on 5 and 6 June 1992,[ 1] alongside elections for the Czech and Slovak Assemblies. The result was a victory for the Civic Democratic Party –Christian Democratic Party (ODS-KDS) alliance, which won 48 of the 150 seats in the House of the People and 37 of the 150 seats in the House of Nations. Voter turnout was 84.7%.[ 2]
This would be the last election held in Czechoslovakia. ODS leader Vaclav Klaus insisted that the leader of the largest Slovak party, Vladimir Meciar , agree to a tightly knit federation with a strong central government. Meciar, however, was only willing to agree to a loose confederation in which the Czech lands and Slovakia would both be sovereign. It soon became apparent that a coalition between the two blocs was not feasible, leading Klaus and Meciar to agree to a "velvet divorce ."[ 3] The Federal Assembly formally voted Czechoslovakia out of existence on November 25. Effective on January 1, 1993, Czechoslovakia split into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia .[ 4]
