From 26 September to 24 October 1900, the 1900 United Kingdom general election was held in Wales, to elect all 670 members of the House of Commons, with 34 seats being in Wales. 34 seats represented territorial constituencies contested under the first past the post electoral system amongst 33 constituencies. The elected was referred to as the "Khaki Election", as it was held at a time when it was widely believed that the Second Boer War had effectively been won, although would continue for another two years. The election was an attempt by the Conservative Party and its government allies, the Liberal Unionist Party, to regain the confidence of the electorate. It was also the final general election of the Victorian era, due to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. It was the last one at which the leader of either of the two largest parties (and by extension, the incumbent Prime Minister) sat in the House of Lords rather than the House of Commons. It was also the last election during which the Marquess of Salisbury was leader of the Conservative Party, and indeed the last election he contested before his death in 1903. The Labour Representation Committee contested its first general election, with its leader Kier Hardie entering Parliament in Wales. The committee would later become the Labour Party. More broadly, the Liberal Party made gains from the Conservatives and Liberal Unionist Party.
