The DRPs expectation was fulfilled in the first election, with SNTV (1973) winning seven first places and eight seconds in 16 districts. The DRPs strategy was to run only one candidate in each of the 16 urban districts while the major opposition party, the New Democratic Party (NDP), ran two candidates in 10 of those urban districts. Although the DRP won only 18 percent of urban districts in 1971 under the old electoral system, it won 47 percent of them under the SNTV in 1973. It seems clear that the new electoral system was chosen because it benefited the majority party by increasing its share of urban seats.
