Parliamentary elections were held in Syria on 9 October 1953.[1] The result was a victory for the Arab Liberation Movement, which won 72 of the 82 seats.[2]
The People's party and the National party were both closed down and prohibited from operating. Most of their leaders were imprisoned or under house arrest due to President Adib al-Shishakli's tyrannical regime that came to power after a coup d'état 3 years earlier.
