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

Electoral system[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

    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[edit]

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