Bijani presidential election, 1955

The Bijani presidential election of 1955 took place on Saturday, June 4, 1955, to elect the President of Bijan. The election was notable in that it featured three candidates, two of whom were members of the same party.

Background
Incumbent president Veki Hajasi, elected to the presidency at the age of 73, substantially curtailed his duties during the final year of his term, and it was certain he would not seek renomination for a second term as president. Because the ruling Bijani National Party controlled both chambers of the National Assembly in coalition with Bijani Family, it was certain that each chamber would nominate a BNP member as its candidate.
