1959: How the invalidation of the election results of Lugh Ferrandi by the Court reawaked tribal feelings within the SYL Party.

[Deeq A.]

The 1959 political elections, the second held under the trusteeship regime, started on 4 March and were spread out over the following four days because of the largely nomadic or semi-nomadic life of the population who cast their votes without electoral certificates. The elections were, for the first time, held on universal adult franchise, meaning that the right to vote was extended to women.
