The Lagerhuis elections of 1668 AN were important elections as they dictated the course of Batavia and its transformation from the United Batavian States into the Sixth Kingdom of Batavia. A boycott (and even active suppression) of leftist parties, corruption and a disinterest among large parts of the voting franchise led to the lowest turnout since 1523 AN. Only conservative parties participated and were elected, while the government party was defeated by the conservative opposition. Its composition resembles the second legislature of the Lagerhuis (1526 - 1527 AN), which was also only occupied with conservative and reactionary political parties.
