Elections to the French National Assembly were held in Chad and Ubangi-Shari on 21 October 1945.
The territories elected two seats to the Assembly via two electoral colleges.
René Malbrant was elected from the first college and Guy Baucheron de Boissoudy [fr] in the second,[1] both of whom were members of the Chadian Democratic Union.
[2] World War II had seen Chad become a territory whose primary political sentiment was loyalty to Charles de Gaulle; it had been recognised with numerous accolades for being the first territory to respond to his Appeal of 18 June, and had also been used as a base for Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque's desert campaign.
The party put up European candidates for both college seats; Malbrant was a vet and de Boissoudy a colonel.
