# 1953 Mauritian general election

General elections were held in Mauritius on 26 and 27 August 1953. The result was a victory for the Labour Party, which won 13 of the 19 elected seats on the Legislative Council. The only other party to win seats was Ralliement Mauricien, which won only two seats. The twelve nominated members were appointed on 11 September. As had happened following the 1948 elections, the Governor Hilary Blood appointed twelve conservatives, largely to ensure the dominance of English and French speakers.
