Snap elections were called due to the crisis in the city council, when the current mayor Ivica Puljak lost his majority and when his deputy Bojan Ivošević was charged with threatening a journalist. On April 8, Mayor Puljak and both his deputies resigned, setting a legal 90-day deadline for holding new mayoral elections. In the following days, several councilors also resigned, creating the conditions for holding council elections.
Ivica Puljak won reelection becoming first mayor of Split to do that, while his party Centre won 8 seats more than year before for a total of 15 out of 31 seat.
