1975 São Toméan parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in São Tomé and Príncipe in July 1975. The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Movement for the Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe (MLSTP) as the sole legal party. A total of 52 candidates contested the election, almost all of whom had been nominated by the MLSTP.[1] Around 21,000 people were registered to vote.[1]

The MLSTP candidates received around 90% of the vote and won all 16 seats in the Constituent Assembly.[2] After approving a new constitution on 5 November, the Assembly was dissolved.[3] A National Assembly was convened to act as a legislature for the next four years, which included MLSTP beurean members and representatives of its zone committees, women's organisation and youth organisation, together with members of the incumbent government and five 'suitable' citizens.[3] This included six women, Alda Bandeira, Alda Neves da Graça do Espírito Santo, Julieta da Graça do Espírito Santo, Maria Aurora Lopes, Lurdes de Maria Lima Pires dos Santos and Maria Fernanda Pontífice de Jesus Bonfim.[4]
