Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 6 December 1934 to elect the members of the Chamber of Deputies.
After the death of King Faisal I, his son Ghazi was crowned as King in September 1933.[1][2][3] Ghazi dissolved Parliament on 27 August 1934.
The elections resulted in the pro-government National Unity Party led by Prime Minister Ali Jawdat al-Aiyubi winning a majority of seats.[4][5][2] The opposition and press claimed that the government heavily had intervened in the elections.[1][4][3][2]
The new parliament lasted only for few months and was dissolved on 9 April 1935 and fresh elections were held later in the year.[1][4][5]
