The ruling People's United Party won all nine seats contested.[2] This was the first of two occasions they would sweep the House. It was the PUP's first election under the leadership of George Cadle Price. Price would lead the party until 1996. The Honduran Independence Party (HIP), a forerunner of the modern United Democratic Party, was founded the previous year by an anti-Price faction within the PUP led by former PUP leader Leigh Richardson. The party fielded five out of a possible nine candidates, but failed to win any seats.[2] The election was the last for the pro-colonial National Party. Charles Westby, the NP's only successful candidate in the 1954 election, ran as an independent.[2] The HIP and NP merged in 1958 to form the National Independence Party. {{British Honduras legislative election, 1957}}References1. ^Richardson was elected to the seat in 1954 as a PUP member. {{Belizean elections}}2. ^1 2 General Elections 1957, Belize Elections and Boundaries Commission.
