Indirect parliamentary elections were held in Burundi in 1954.

Background

[edit]

The Decree of 14 July 1952 by the Belgian authorities had introduced an element of democracy to the Burundian political system. A complicated electoral system was created, which involved seven stages of elections to eventually elect the National Superior Council (French: Superieur du Pays).[1]

The elections began in the sub-chiefdoms, then were held in the chiefdoms, then the territories, and finally at the national level.[2]

Results

[edit]

The elections in the sub-chiefdoms and chiefdoms were held in 1953, with the elections to the Territorial Councils and the Superior Council following in 1954.[3]
