General elections were held in Peru on 2 July 1950 to elect the President and both houses of Congress.[1] Manuel A. Odría was the only presidential candidate after Ernesto Montage of the Democratic League withdrew, and was elected unopposed.[2] In the Congressional elections, lists supporting Odría won 38 of the 47 seats in the Senate and 139 of the 156 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[3]
Only 45 of the 47 seats in the Senate were filled as only one list of candidates was registered in Ancash and Puno, resulting in their minority seats being unfilled.[3]
Only 154 of the 156 seats in the Chamber were filled as only one list of candidates was registered in Ancash and Puno, resulting in their minority seats being unfilled.[3]
