After refusing to nominate Milorad Dodik as Prime Minister, President Nikola Poplašen was deposed in 1999 after less than a year in position by Carlos Westendorp, the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Petar Đokić was named acting president until election. In the meantime Poplašen's Serbian Radical Party was banned from elections.
The presidential election was won by Mirko Šarović from the Serb Democratic Party, who had been in power during the war years. The runner-up was Prime Minister Milorad Dodik.
In the parliamentary election, the Serb Democratic Party won the most seats for the fourth time in a row. However, unlike the past two election cycles, they managed to form a government, with Mladen Ivanić from Party of Democratic Progress elected as the new Prime Minister.
