1939 Cochinchinese parliamentary election
Colonial Council elections were held in French Cochinchina on 16 April 1939.[1]
Electoral system
The 24 members of the Cochinchina Colonial Council [vi] consisted of ten members elected by French citizens, ten by Vietnamese who were classed as French subjects, two by the Chamber of Commerce and two by the Chamber of Agriculture.[2]
Results
Amongst the Vietnamese electorate, three Trotskyist candidates Tạ Thu Thâu, Trần Văn Thạch and Phan Văn Hùm received around 80% of the vote;[3] the pro-French Indochinese Constitutionalist Party [vi] received 15% and Stalinists candidates 1%.[4]
Aftermath
The defeat of the Stalinism led to the Indochinese Communist Party splitting, with Dương Bạch Mai [vi] continuing to lead the official faction of the party and Nguyễn Văn Tạo [vi] heading a breakaway.[5]
