The '''1999 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election''' took place in October 1999 in 224 [[constituencies]] in [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The elections were conducted to elect the government in the state of Karnataka for the next five years.

The [[Indian National Congress]] secured a huge majority winning 132 seats.<ref>{{cite web|title=Congress in Karnataka|url=http://www.rediff.com/election/1999/oct/07assem.htm|publisher=Rediffnews}}</ref> The [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]] composed of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and [[Janata Dal (United)]] faction was a distant second winning only 63 seats. The [[Janata Dal (Secular)]] faction of former prime minister [[Deve Gowda]] also bit dust winning only 10 seats. The election was held simultaneously with the [[1999 Indian general election|Lok sabha elections]]. The Janata Dal government collapsed in mid-1999 owing to a split in the [[Janata Dal]]. The Chief minister [[J.H.Patel]], party president C.Byregowda and many other prominent leaders were part of the Janata dal (United) faction and along with [[Ramakrishna Hegde]] allied with the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]<ref>{{cite web|title=JDU-BJP cracking|url=http://www.rediff.com/election/1999/aug/26iype.htm|publisher=Rediffnews}}</ref> whereas the former prime minister Deve Gowda and his associates including the deputy chief minister [[Siddaramaiah]] joined the Janata dal (secular) faction. Owing to the anti-incumbency against both the factions of JD, Congress won handsomely. [[S.M. Krishna]] of the Congress was sworn in as Chief Minister on 11 October 1999.<ref>{{cite web|title=Krishna sworn in as Karnataka CM|url=http://www.rediff.com/election/1999/oct/11karna.htm|publisher=Rediffnews}}</ref>
