Palestinians boycott Legislative Council elections

← Back to Dashboard
📅 February 1923 📍 Palestine

Organizations/movement: Arab Executive Committee; Palestinian boycott supporters. Action: Nationalist leadership and supporters withheld participation in the February–March elections for the proposed Legislative Council. Result: The representative scheme failed to develop as intended; British governing authority remained. Impact / interpretation: Non-cooperation could obstruct institutional legitimacy, but did not remove the underlying colonial power. The boycott is therefore a limited institutional result rather than a completed independence victory.
