10 January 1950 (second stage)

Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 3 January 1950, with a second round on 10 January. The result was a victory for the Wafd Party. They were the last parliamentary elections that took place under the monarchy, and the last genuinely contested legislative election in Egypt until the election following the Revolution of 2011.

Results

While all sources agree that the Wafd achieved a majority, there are disagreements on the figures. Nohen et al and Dolf Sternberger et al puts the numbers as 225 Wafd, 28 Saadist, 26 Liberal Constitutionalist, 6 Nationalists, 1 Democratic Socialist and 33 independents, though the latter notes that a different source disagrees on one seat, 226 Wafd and 32 independents. P. J. Vatikiotis give the totals as 288 to the Wafd out of 327 seats, polling at barely 40 per cent of the votes, as well as 38 independents, with 2.8 million total votes cast out of 4.1 million voters.
