General elections were held in Transjordan on 20 October 1942.[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
  • Yosef al-Akshah
  • Isa al-Awad
  • Salim al-Hindawi
  • Mahmud al-Kraishan
  • Refefan al-Majali
  • Fawzi al-Mufti
  • Alhajj Soud al-Nablsi
  • Abdul-Qader al-Tall
  • Hessen al-Tarawneh
  • Salameh al-Twall
  • Ghdoub al-Zaben
  • Hamad Bin Jazi
  • Mosa al-Awad Hejazi
  • Hessen Khawajah
  • Sabri Tabba'
  • By-election[edit]

    Following the death of Refefan Al-Majali on 24 January 1945, M'arek Al-Majali was elected as a replacement on 1 September.[1] Majed al-Adwan died 2 June 1946, with Noffan al-So'ud elected to replace him on 16 September.[1]

    Aftermath[edit]

    Five governments were formed during the term of the Legislative Council, which was extended by two years to last until 1947.[1]
