1946–1947 Moyen-Congo Representative Council election


The first elections to the Representative Council of Moyen-Congo were held between December 1946 and January 1947. A government decree, issued on 26 October 1946, had called for the holding of elections for Representative Councils in each of the territories of French Equatorial Africa.
The Representative Councils were divided into two segments, one elected by common law citizens and one elected by citizens of professional stature In Moyen-Congo, the first college had 12 seats and the second college had 18 seats. As of November 1946 the second college had 23,119 registered voters. The Congolese member of the French National Assembly, Jean-Félix Tchicaya, had been the sole voice from French Equatorial Africa to condemn the separate electoral college system during the debates in the National Assembly in the run-up to the elections.
The Congolese Progressive Party won the election, obtaining 15 of the seats. Their main rival, the socialist SFIO got nine seats.
