Estonian parliamentary elections, 1932 were held on the 21.-23. may 1932. Before those elections major shifts occurred on the political landscape. The Farmers Unions (mostly backed by the "old farmers" and those somewhat more conservative and economically right-wing) and Settler's party (patriotic left-of-centre agrarian) joined forces into the United Peasants Party (not the official name). Different centrist forces (mostly Peoples Party, Christian Peoples Party, Labor Party and Economic Group) formed the National Centre Party.
