 Before the 1933 elections the party changed its name to National Farmers', Horticulturists' and Middle Class Party ("Nationale Boeren-, Tuinders- en Middenstandspartij", NBTM) and renewed its party organisations.In this election it had two top candidates Cornelis Vervoorn, a rich farmer, for the Northern provinces Groningen and Drenthe and Arend Braat, who been the party's leader for a long time, for the rest of the Netherlands.Unexpectedly Vervoorn was elected into parliament because he received more votes than Braat.
