A general election was held in Creeperopolis on 19 December 1887 where voters elected all 30 members of the newly-established National Parliament of Creeperopolis (commonly referred to in Creeperopolis as the Second Parliament).
The 1887 election was the first since 1740, held by the semi-recognized Creeperian Republic, and marked the end of the Adolfisto period of Creeperian history. The election was quickly organized by democratic politicians after a 2-year period of negotiations and tensions between pro-democratic politicians and the monarchy.
Inhué Ordóñez Yepes of the National Liberal Party became the prime minister of Creeperopolis.
The election's scope was very limited with only 103,418 being registered to vote, almost all of whom lived in the Adolfosburgo, San Luís, and San Salvador viceroyalties. After the election, a series of protests and riots erupted across the country, either due to discontent at the limited scope of the election, opposition to the results of the election, or opposition to the restoration of democracy. The protests and riots led to Ordóñez Yepes calling for a snap election in 1888 to hold a nationwide election.
