1973 Ethiopian General Election

23 June and 7 July 1973 · The imperial Chamber of Deputies · 250 seats, 126 for a majority

Independents finished first with 250 of 250 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.
