South Arabian general election, 1960 (Fascist Coup Britain)

The 1960 South Arabian general election resulted in the Labour Party retaining a narrow majority in the Federal Assembly.

Background
The 1960 general election was triggered by the assassination of Prime Minister Ken Burton alongside several other leading members of the cabinet, forcing Burton's successor Christian Abbott, who had unseated former Progressive Prime Minister Benjamin Rhodes in Aden South at the previous election, to call a snap election in order to gain a mandate for a new government.

Results
The election saw the Labour Party retain a narrow majority whilst the Progressives made some gains. The election also forced the resignation of long time Progressive leader Benjamin Rhodes whose unpopularity was blamed for the party's failure to unseat the Labour government.
