1925 Burmese general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elections to the Legislative Council were held in Burma on 17 November 1925.[1] Under the terms of the dyarchy constitution, the Legislative Council of Burma was advisory to the British colonial governor, and had some direct authority over education, local government, public health, agriculture and forests.[2] The Nationalist Party received the most votes, but was unable to form a government as the British authorities favoured the Independent Party, who formed a government led by Joseph Augustus Maung Gyi.[3]
