Claim: The Bourj Hammoud electoral district was represented by Dikran Tosbath, who won in 1951 when voter turnout was 54.7% and had support from the Tashnag Party and the National Bloc.
Evidence: The incumbent parliamentarian Dikran Tosbath, who had won his seat in the 1951 parliamentary election as an anti-Tashnag candidate, sought re-election. Voter turnout was 54.7%. As the Tashnag Party prioritized good relations with the government they threw their support behind Tosbath. Tosbath was also supported by the National Bloc.
