Aftermath
The ruling Democratic Alliance won a majority by itself and Andrey Lyapchev remained Prime Minister. In May 1931 a faction of the NLP joined the government with two ministers.
In 1927 the government signed the Mollov–Kafandaris agreement, which regulated the real estate assets left behind by Bulgarians expelled from Greece and Greeks from Bulgaria after the First World War.
In the aftermath of the 1928 earthquakes, the government secured a foreign loan, which, alongside the Refugee Loan two years prior, helped stabilize the Bulgarian lev. The period between 1928 and 1931 was characterized by the increasing influence of tsar Boris III and growing ties to Fascist Italy, culminating in Boris' marriage to Giovanna of Savoy. Bulgaria under Lyapchev, a Macedonian Bulgarian, had a tense relationship with neighboring Yugoslavia and the border between the two countries was closed in 1929.
