The territories elected three seats to the Assembly via two electoral colleges; the first college spanned both territories and elected one member, whilst each territory elected one member via the second college. René Malbrant was elected from the first college, with Gabriel Lisette elected from the second college in Chad and Barthélémy Boganda elected in the second college in Ubangi-Shari.[1]
