Английская Википедия:1935 Iraqi parliamentary election
Шаблон:Politics of IraqParliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 4 August 1935 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies.[1]
Background
The elections occurred during a period of turmoil and tribal revolts against the government in the mid-Euphrates and southern regions.[2][3] The revolt was partly attributed to the lack of governmental and parliamentary representation of the Shia tribes in the troubled regions.[4][5]
Results
The number of seats in parliament was increased from 88 to 108 due to the significant increase in the population since 1925.[2][3][6] The government recognised the southern tribes' resentment and helped electing some of the tribes' leaders.[4] The new parliament also had a higher number of journalists.[2][3][6] The Party of National Brotherhood led by incumbent Prime Minister Yasin al-Hashimi won a majority of seats.[3][7][8]
Aftermath
Al-Hashimi, who adopted strong nationalist policies, had strong support in the new parliament; he remained Prime Minister until his government was overthrown by a military coup led by general Bakr Sidqi in 1936.[2][3][6] After the coup, Hikmat Sulayman, a former member of the Party of National Brotherhood, was made Prime Minister by the coup's military leader.
