The 1699 elections in Sankt Ludwigshafen were the fifth elections ever held in the nation, and the second of the third republic. While in the previous elections the Traditional Party '80 only had to face opposition from the Slight Reform Party '81, in 1699 the Progressive Alliance '83 participated again for the first time in a decade and the recently founded Tekeel Party '97 participated for the very first time. The elections were won by the Traditional Party, which received 43 seats, with the Slight Reform Party receiving 4 seats, the Progressive Alliance 2 and the Tekeel Party 1. Newcomer the Tekeel Party was expected to win more seats as its puritan values resonated with a significant portion of the population. However, many voters rejected its polemic campaign which was considered unbeseeming. This was the result ofthe leader of said party, Miguel Servental, describing some of his opponents in negative terms and even questioning the faith of the Progressive Alliance's Rosa Walburg. As expected, Adam Rettich was elected stadtholder by the Stadtparlement during its first session, securing his second term.
