in 1891. He was elected as a Member of the House of Representatives for Görgő (today: ''Spišský Hrhov, Slovakia'') in 1892. He was a representative of the governing Liberal Party. He held his seat until 1896. He became MP again in 1901 for Nagymihály (today: ''Michalovce, Slovakia''). He was awarded Privy Councillor by the King in 1903. After the infamous and scandalous " handkerchief vote" on 18 November 1904, when the ruling party voted for more stringent Standing Orders of the Parliament by MP Gábor Daniel illegally to the breaking of obstruction, he left the Liberal Party and joined Gyula Andrássy the Younger's "dissident group" which later formed as National Constitution Party. He was a candidate in the 1905 parliamentary elections but did not gain a seat. From that time he continued his political career in the House of Magnates. He was appointed Speaker of the Upper House in 1917, replacing Sámuel Jósika. He resigned on 22 June 1918. He was a member of the upper house for a short time in 1927.
