Bijani House of Representatives election, 1961

The Bijani House of Representatives election of 1961 was held on Saturday, 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, one short of an outright majority.

Result
A total of 13 seats changed hands in this election.
