Stjepan_Radić:
Under pressure from the Great powers, as well as honouring the secret deals that were struck between the Entente and the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was established and two representatives of Radić's party were appointed to the Provisional Representation which served as a parliament until elections for the Constituent could be held. The party was subsequently renamed to the Croatian Republican Peasant Party, highlighting the party's official stance. On 12 December 1920, the Parliament of SHS had their first sitting, without the representatives of CPP and the Croatian Party of Rights. On 23 December, the Serb dominated central government declared that the political party CRPP was in contravention of the Internal security law of 1921 in the infamous Obznana declaration, and this was confirmed by King Alexander on 1 January 1924, thus arresting the CRPP executive on 2 January 1925, and finally arresting Stjepan Radić on 5 January. In order to increase his negotiating power the CRPP entered into a coalition with the Independent Democratic party, Slovenian People's Party and the Yugoslav Muslim Organization. Immediately after the parliamentary elections in March 1925, the CRPP changed the party name to Croatian Peasant Party. With the backing of the coalition partners, the CPP made an agreement with the major conservative Serbian party - the People's Radical Party, in which a power-sharing arrangement was struck, as well as a deal to release the CPP executive from jail. Radić soon resigned his ministerial post in 1926 and returned to the opposition, and in 1927 entered into a coalition with Svetozar Pribićević, president of the Independent Democratic Party, a leading party of the Serbs in Croatia.
