1919 Abkhazian People's Council election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elections to the People's Council were held in Abkhazia on 13 February 1919, alongside parliamentary elections in Georgia.[1]

Results

The Social Democrats won 27 of the 40 seats; 11 members of the party were Abkhazians and 11 Georgians, with the remaining five having other ethnicities.[1] Seats were also held by social federalists, an Abkhaz independent socialist group, Socialist Revolutionaries, people's democrats and colonists.[2]

Of the 40 members, 18 were Abkhazian, 16 Georgian and six from other ethnic groups.[1]

Aftermath

Following its election, the Council split along ethnic lines, with Abkhaz members of the Social Democratic Party joining the independent socialists to form an Abkhaz opposition.[2] Despite the split, the Council voted in favour of Abkhazia being an autonomous region of Georgia.[3]
