 Elections for the Constitutional Assembly were held in December 1955, but the assembly only convened in November 1956.There were a total of 514 members, with the composition broadly reflecting that of the People's Representative Council, the elections to which had produced very similar results.Like the legislature, no party had an overall majority, and the four largest parties were the Indonesian National Party ("Partai Nasional Indonesia"), the Masjumi, Nahdatul Ulama and the Indonesian Communist Party ("Partai Komunis Indonesia").
