Elections to the French National Assembly were held in Chad and Ubangi-Shari on 17 June 1951. The territories elected four seats to the Assembly via two electoral colleges; the first college spanned both territories and elected one seat, whilst Chad elected two seats via the second college and Ubangi-Shari one. René Malbrant was re-elected from the first college, and Barthélémy Boganda from the second in Ubangi-Shari,[1] In the second college in Chad, both seats were won by the Chadian Democratic Union.[2] which were taken by Mohamed Bechir-Sow and Quatre Sou Quatre.
