1957 Ethiopian General Election

1 and 30 September 1957 · The imperial Chamber of Deputies · 210 seats, 106 for a majority

Independents finished first with 210 of 210 seats.

Political parties were banned and candidates needed real property to qualify, so competition was between individual notables rather than a choice of program, and the Emperor kept naming the government regardless of the result.
