abstract	The Bijani House of Representatives election of 1961 was held on Sunday, March 5, 1961, to elect the 150 members of the 4th Bijani House of Representatives. The incumbent Bijani National Party government sought a fourth term in office against a broad offering of opposition parties, including the centre-left Social Democratic Party, the centre-right Liberal Democratic Party, the rural-interests Country Party, the Alliance of Dutch Voters and the Christian Democratic Party. Nine parties took part in the election, though only six of them contested seats in all 23 counties. The era of single-party rule in Bijan ended with the 1961 election, as the Bijani National Party lost its grip on the House. The BNP won 46% of the national vote and 74 of the 150 seats, two seats short of an outright majority. The seven other parliamentary parties, none of whom had the support of the others but together held 76 of the 150 seats, agreed to support the Bijani National Party's formation of a minority government. In return, the parties used their majority to amend the electoral law to ensure the representation of parties in the House was more reflective of each party's share of the national vote. The new electoral law, which would increase the size of the House to 173 members, would go into effect at the 1965 election.
