Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 20 March 1960 to elect the Chamber of Representatives.[1] Under the National Front agreement, only the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party were able to contest the elections, with 50% of the seats in both houses allocated to each party.[2] As a result, the main contest at the elections was between factions within each party.[2]
