September 1954 Iraqi Parliamentary Election
The uncontested election12 September 1954 · The Hashemite monarchy · 135 seats, 68 for a majority
Early parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 12 September 1954, after the Chamber of Deputies elected in June was dissolved by the King on 3 August. The Constitutional Union Party remained the largest party, winning 94 of the 135 seats, although only 25 seats were actually contested.
The most rigged vote of the monarchy: Nuri al-Said dissolved the freshly elected June chamber, suppressed the opposition, and had nearly every seat returned unopposed.
