Libyan general election, 1964

This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Libya

General elections were held in Libya on 10 October 1964.[1] Following the 1952 elections political parties had been banned, so all candidates contested the election as independents. Although its spokesmen were arrested, the opposition managed to obtain representation in parliament. As a result, King Idris dissolved the Assembly and early elections were held the following year.
