Craftian general election, 1959

A general election was held on Thursday, 19 February 1959 to determine the members of the 8th Provincial Parliament of the Province of Craftia. The incumbent third-term centre-left National Labour Party government, led by Premier Allen Wilson, was defeated by the right-wing Protection of Craftia Party, led by Gary Smith.

Protection jumped from third party to majority government, benefiting from vote splitting in urban areas between the Labour Party and centre-right National Party of Craftia, led by William McArthur. Protection won 13 more seats than Labour, despite the two parties having relatively similar shares of the popular vote.
