1966 West African General Election (Blood of the Revolution)

General elections were held in the West African Federation on 10 June 1966 to elect 800 members of the newly-formed Consultative Assembly to write the new constitution. It has resulted in the overwhelming victory of the Patriotic Popular List, headed by the Communist Party, granting the ability to implement a "revolutionary-style basic law" as defined by acting Prime Minister Mamadou Dia.

This was the last free election held in West Africa with consecutive electoral events held only to renew the Popular Congress, the organ that elected the general secretary and other institutions. The Provisional Audition Commission, nominally led by CPWA executives, approved only two lists where parties could merge into.
