Elections to the Legislative Council were held for the first time in the Colony of Aden in 1955. However, only four of the Council's 18 seats were elected.[1] Restrictions on suffrage were imposed linked to age, gender, property ownership and residency. With only around 5,000 people voting,[2] the restrictions ensured that only loyalists to the government were elected.[1] Following the elections there were protests over the suffrage limitations and calling for independence.[1]
