Smith wins landslide Rhodesian election for majority rule
Rhodesia's Prime Minister Ian Smith secured 49 of 50 white seats in the House of Assembly, giving his Rhodesian Front a two thirds majority. He said he would consider a British American peace blueprint while pursuing an internal settlement that excludes the Patriotic Front and preserves white influence under majority rule. Britain and the United States warned that excluding the Patriotic Front would not stop the war and urged role for black nationalists and universal suffrage.
