Aftermath
When Upper Volta was reconstituted as a separate territory in 1948, its members left the General Council (10 from the First College, 15 from the Second). By-elections were held in May 1948 for eight First College seats and 12 Second College seats; the PDCI won all of the Second College seats.[3]
