A general election was held in Akashi on 24 June 1950. The incumbent Yurika Ehara government was re-elected with a majority.

The election was notable for the debut of the National Democratic Party, and the Workers' Party surpassing the electoral threshold and entering the National Assembly. The Social Credit Party, meanwhile, fell short of the threshold after narrowly crossing it four years before, and lost all their MNAs.
