Sourou Apithy was born in Porto Novo on April 8, 1913 and attended local mission schools.
In the 1957 elections for the legislature Apithy's party was opposed by the Union Démocratique Dahoméene (UDD), which was based in Abomey and was led by Justin Ahomadegbe, and by the northern Mouvement Démocratique Dahoméen (MDD) of Hubert Maga.
Violent protests caused Apithy to concede 9 of the PRD seats to the UDD and to agree to serve under Maga's leadership.
