Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 16 September 1951——to elect the Senate and Chamber of Representatives. Although the Liberal Party boycotted the "elections," some Liberals from the Populares faction did stand. As a result of the boycott, "the seats reserved for the minority party were left vacant," whilst the Conservative Party won the remainder.
