On 31 January 1933, the King sent a letter to the Premier requesting that all political parties be established. On 14 April, the Premier disbanded the People's Party. He later adjourned the legislature and reshuffled the leadership of the Army, giving leadership to Phraya Phichaisongkhram and Phraya Sri Sithi Songkhram, both military leaders during the absolute monarchy. On 20 June, the remnants of the People's Party military faction seized power and reinstated the legislature.
In August 1933, the government began registering candidates for village representatives who would cast votes in indirect elections for half of the legislature. It also started registering candidates for the legislature. Elections in some provinces started in October, but most were held in November.
During the midst of the elections, in October 1933, royalist factions led by Prince Boworadej and Phraya Sri Sitthi Songkhram led a rebellion against the government. After two weeks of violent fighting, during which Bangkok was bombed and Sri Sitthi Songkhram was killed, the People's Party defeated the rebels. Prince Boworadej fled abroad. Prince King Prajadhipok, who claimed neutrality during the conflict, fled to England a few weeks after the defeat.
From London, the King issued an ultimatum: in exchange for his return, and the legitimacy it lended to the People's Party, the King demanded several constitutional reforms. This included the right to select half of the legislature, control over the royal budget, and veto power that could be overridden only by a 3/4's majority of the legislature. The King also demanded the right to try capital cases, in this case, to free rebel soldiers. At the time, the New York Times reported that the King also threatened to sell the throne's substantial assets, including land, palaces, and the Emerald Buddha. The People's Party rejected the ultimatum, and in March 1935, Prajadhipok abdicated.
