General elections were held in Transjordan on 16 October 1937.[1]

Electoral system

The 1928 basic law provided for a unicameral Legislative Council. The 16 elected members were joined by the six-member cabinet, which included the Prime Minister.[1] The term length was set at three years.[1]

Results

The sixteen elected members were:

  • Majed al-Adwan
  • Mahmud al-Awad
  • Mahmud al-Fniash
  • Salti al-Ibrahim
  • Hadeethah al-Khraishah
  • Abdallah al-Kulayb
  • Mahmud al-Kreshan
  • Refefan al-Majali
  • Alhajj Soud al-Nablsi
  • Salih al-Oran
  • Ibrahim al-Sharayhah
  • Khaleel al-Sokar
  • Hamad Bin Jazi
  • Shawkat Hameed
  • Hessen Khawajah
  • Sabri Tabba'

By-election

By-elections were required after two members of the council were appointed governors in 1941. After being appointed as a Governor on 2 August, Abdallah al-Kulayb left the council and in the subsequent by-election, Muhammad Al-Sa'd was elected.[1] On 6 September Shawkat Hameed was also appointed as a governor, with Omar Hekmat elected to replace him.[1]

Aftermath

Five governments were formed during the term of the Legislative Council, which was extended by two years to last until 1942.[1]

  • First government - in office until 28 September 1938
  • Second government (28 September 1938 to 6 August 1939)
    • Led by Tawfik Abu al-Huda and included Hashem Khiar, Ahmad Olwi al-Saqaf, Abdullah al-Hmoud, Khalaf al-Tall and Nuqoula Ghanama.[1]
  • Third government (6 August 1939 to 24 September 1940)
    • Led by al-Huda and included Ahmad Olwi al-Saqaf, Nuqoula Ghanama, Rasheeed al-Madfa'i, Abdullah al-Nemer and Ali al-Kayed.[1]
  • Fourth government (25 September 1940 to 27 July 1941)
    • Led by al-Huda and included Omar Hekmat, Shukri Sha'sha'ah, Ahmad Olwi al-Saqaf, Nuqoula Ghanama and Ali al-Kayed.[1]
