1951 Colombian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 16 September 1951 to elect the Senate and Chamber of Representatives.[1] Although the Liberal Party boycotted the elections, some Liberals from the Populares faction did stand.[2] As a result of the boycott, the seats reserved for the minority party were left vacant, whilst the Conservative Party won the remainder.[3]
