The following day the Parliament adopted an enabling law for the new Constitutional Law, and then proceeded to elect the first Executive Council.
The Executive Council organized elections to the Parliament, now divided into a Republican Council and a Council of Producers, on 22 November 1953. A joint session of the two newly elected legislative councils elected a new Executive Council on 18 December 1953. Jakov Blažević replaced Vladimir Bakarić as president of the Executive Council, while he moved to the position of President of the Parliament.
