The Marquess of Linlithgow Ba Maw Anti-Separation League General elections were held in Burma on 9 November 1932,[1] having originally been planned for 29 October.

Despite expectations that the separationists would win,[3][1] the Anti-Separation League won a majority of seats.

However, the anti-separationists were not in favour of maintaining the union with India, but instead called for a better constitution for a separate Burma.

[6] A total of 207 candidates contested the elections;[1] the People's Party headed by U Ba Pe, part of the Separation League, put forward 54, whilst the Independent Party of Joseph Augustus Maung Gyi had 49.

[7] The Times noted that the surprise defeat of the separationists was caused by "wild stories" that the country would become a "white man's paradise and home to the British unemployed, that taxation would be heavily increased, even dogs and poultry would be taxed; and that the Buddhist religion would be ruined".
