1988 Yemen Arab Republic parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in the Yemen Arab Republic on 5 July 1988. As political parties were banned, all 1,300 candidates for the 128 seats ran as independents. Around 40 seats were won by tribal candidates, whilst around 30 were won by candidates sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood. Voter turnout was 77%.

Electoral system

Of the 159 members of Parliament, 128 were elected in single-member constituencies using the first-past-the-post system, with the remaining 31 appointed by the President.
