Northern Rhodesian general election, 1932

General elections were held in Northern Rhodesia on 16 July 1932. Of the seven elected seats in the Legislative Council, four had only one candidate, who was elected unopposed; H L Goodhart in the Eastern constituency, John Brown in Midlands, Chad Norris in Northern and T H Murray in Southern. The only contested seats were the two in Livingstone and the one in Ndola.

Campaign

In Ndola incumbent member Kennedy Harris, a businessman, was challenged by Herbert Walsh, a trade unionist. In the two-member Livingstone and Western constituency, incumbents Leopold Moore (owner of Northern Rhodesia's only newspaper, The Livingstone Mail) and F H Lowe (an accountant and mayor of Livingstone) were challenged by former Livingstone mayor C S Knight and Deputy mayor F D Law.
