Syrian parliamentary election, 1953

Parliamentary elections were held in Syria on 9 October 1953. The result was a victory for the Arab Liberation Movement, which won 72 of the 82 seats.

The People's party and the National party were both closed down and prohibited from operating. Most of their leaders were imprisoned or under house arrest due to President Adib al-Shishakli's tyrannical regime that came to power after a coup d'état 3 years earlier.
