Delegates for National Assembly shall be elected before the constitution came into effect, which would be similar to Electoral College in the United States.

The two minority parties demanded to field 238 and 288 candidates in the election, despite significantly higher than their representations in the Constitutional Assembly.

[2] John Leighton Stuart, Ambassador of the United States to China, criticised the minority of their greed for power.

Along with underdeveloped voter identification system, large number of invalid ballots were found and fraud was widely reported.

Kuomintang later passed a controversial and unconstitutional resolution, forcing those elected delegates with KMT affiliation to give up their seats such as to fulfill the demand from the opposition, as they threatened to withdraw from the National Assembly in protest.

[20] The chaos following the resolution forced the meeting to postpone from 25 December 1947 to 29 March 1948, and only ended as it was declared seats would not needed to be given up.

Due to the lack of data over the political affiliation of elected delegates, the numbers below were estimations from the given details.

Before World War II, few Taiwanese people were selected by the Government of Japan to participate the Imperial Diet.

As a result of World War II, the Republic of China Armed Forces occupied Taiwan on behalf of the Allies.

Since the government had lost control over mainland China, the delegates extended their own terms until "re-election is possible in their original electoral district."

This situation remained until a Constitutional Court (Judicial Yuan) decision in June 1991 that orders the terms to terminate by the end of 1991.

The National Assembly delegates elected actually served in office from 29 March 1948 to 31 December 1991, which equals 43 years and 278 days.
