The Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on April 23, 1946. Held on the same day as the presidential election, it was held after the Nacionalista Party had split permanently into two factions: the "Conservative" faction headed by president Sergio Osmeña and the "Liberal" faction headed by Senate president Manuel Roxas which will later be the Liberal Party. Roxas and the Liberals won the elections leaving the Nacionalistas in the minority in both houses of Congress. The leftist Democratic Alliance won six seats in the House of Representatives but were unseated; five of them were later restored their seats but after the amendment to the constitution concerning parity rights was approved.
