General elections were held in British Honduras on 28 April 1954, the first held under universal suffrage.[1] The new constitution replaced the Legislative Council with a Legislative Assembly, which had nine elected members, three officials and three appointed members.[1] The result was a decisive victory for the pro-independence People's United Party, which won eight of the nine seats in a coalition with the General Workers' Union.
The pro-colonial National Party won the remaining seat, with NP candidate Charles Westby prevailing in the Toledo constituency.[2]
