Elections to the French National Assembly were held in Guinea on 21 October 1945, with a second round of voting on 18 November. [1] Maurice Chevrance-Bertin and Yacine Diallo were elected.

Electoral system [ edit ]

The two seats allocated to the constituency were elected on two separate electoral rolls; French citizens elected one MP from the first college, whilst non-citizens elected one MP in the second college. [1]

Campaign [ edit ]

The elections were effectively a contest between the Fula and Mandinka . However, two Mandinka candidates stood, splitting their vote, whilst Yacine Diallo was the only Fula to stand. [2]

Aftermath [ edit ]

Following the elections, Senegalese MP Lamine Gueye attempted to persuade all the African MPs to form an African Bloc, which would be affiliated with the SFIO . Although, the attempt failed, Diallo did sit with the SFIO. [5]
