Parliamentary elections were held in Cameroon on 10 April 1960.
They were the first elections held in accordance with the new constitution, approved in a referendum in February, which created a unicameral federal National Assembly.
The result was a slim victory for the Cameroonian Union,[1] forcing it to govern in coalition.
However, the elections were marred by severe irregularities.
[2] Julienne Keutcha was the only woman elected, becoming the first directly elected female member of the Cameroonian parliament.
