An election for the one elected seat on the Legislative Council was held in the Gambia in 1947. It was the first time that the Council had had a directly-elected representative.[1]
The seat was won by Edward Francis Small, [2] the founder of the Gambia Labour Union. Small was an independent candidate, as there were no political parties in the colony at the time.
