December 1937 Iraqi parliamentary election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 18 December 1937 to elect the members of Chamber of Deputies.[1]
After the assassination of Bakr Sidqi, the military leader of the 1936 coup d'état, Hikmat Sulayman's government resigned.[2] Jamil al-Midfai was selected to form the new government. His government subsequently sought to dissolve the parliament that supported the coup d'état and Sulayman's government. Parliament was eventually dissolved on 26 August 1937.[2][3][4]
