Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 22 May 1910.[1] The result was a victory for the Catholic Party, which won 49 of the 87 seats up for election in the Chamber of Representatives.[2]
Under the alternating system, elections were only held in five out of the nine provinces: Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders.
Results
[edit]Liberal Adolphe May defeated Catholic Emile de Lalieux de La Rocq in Nivelles and socialist Joseph Bologne defeated liberal Léopold Gillard in Namur. All other representatives were either re-elected, or succeeded by candidates of the same party. Notably, Camille Huysmans (socialist of Antwerp) was elected for the first time.
