On 29 April 1950, Charles dissolved parliament pending fresh elections. His intention was probably to prevent the formation of a PSC–CVP government under Van Zeeland, a staunch Leopoldist, which would lead to the return of the King without further discussion.[42] The following election produced an absolute PSC–CVP majority in both Chamber and Senate,[lower-alpha 5] and a new single-party government under Jean Duvieusart was formed.[42]
