1957 Lebanese general election

General elections were held in Lebanon between 9 and 23 June 1957. Independent candidates won the majority of seats. Voter turnout was 53.2%.

With the support of Lebanese President Camille Chamoun CIA money was used to support selected candidates.

Bint Jbeil
There was a reform of the seat distribution of parliamentary constituencies in 1957, but Bint Jbeil remained a single-member constituency. Instead the neighbouring electoral district of Nabatieh was awarded an additional Shia seat. Ahmad al-As'ad argued that this move had been done deliberately to curtail his political influence. The Bint Jbeil seat was won by Ali Bazzi in the parliamentary election.
