In the 1937 elections to the provincial legislatures, the Muslim League failed to win a single seat in:

North West Frontier Province

The correct answer is Option (2) → North West Frontier Province

In the 1937 elections to the provincial legislatures, the Muslim League failed to win a single seat in North West Frontier Province.

In 1937, elections to the provincial legislatures were held for the first time. Only about 10 to 12 per cent of the population enjoyed the right to vote. The Congress did well in the elections, winning an absolute majority in five out of eleven provinces and forming governments in seven of them. It did badly in the constituencies reserved for Muslims, but the Muslim League also fared poorly, polling only 4.4 per cent of the total Muslim vote cast in this election. The League failed to win a single seat in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and could capture only two out of 84 reserved constituencies in the Punjab and three out of 33 in Sind.
