General elections were held in Jordan on 21 October 1956.[1] The National Socialist Party emerged as the largest party, with 12 seats.[2]
The elections were considered to be one of the most free in Jordan's history, and was the first and only election to produce an elected government.[3] Hizb ut-Tahrir, which won a single seat, was later banned.
