Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 3 June 1951, electing 26 of the 52 seats in the Chamber of Deputies in the south and east of the country.[1][2] The Christian Social People's Party won 12 of the 26 seats, but saw its total number of seats fall from 22 to 21.[2] The elections led to the formation of the coalition Dupong-Bodson Ministry between the Christian Social People's Party and the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party.
