Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 4 August 1935 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies. [1]
The elections occurred during a period of turmoil and tribal revolts against the government in the mid-Euphrates and southern regions. [2] [3] The revolt was partly attributed to the lack of governmental and parliamentary representation of the Shia tribes in the troubled regions. [4] [5]
The number of seats in parliament was increased from 88 to 108 due to the significant increase in the population since 1925. [2] [3] [6] The government recognised the southern tribes' resentment and helped electing some of the tribes' leaders. [4] The new parliament also had a higher number of journalists. [2] [3] [6] The Party of National Brotherhood led by incumbent Prime Minister Yasin al-Hashimi won a majority of seats. [3] [7] [8]
