Background The elections took place amidst the ongoing civil war, although a round of talks in Tehran in September 1994 provided for a formal cease-fire, scheduled to end on 5 November.Linda Edgeworth Walter Smith Scott Lansell Gwenn Hoffman Sara Dashtamirova Walter Smith Linda Edgeworth Scott Lansell Compendium of Reports on Technical Election Assistance to Tajikistan: Pre-Election Assessment, Election Day Observations, Post-Election Technical Asse https://books.google.com/books?id=QqjoCF3AEYEC&pg=PA19 1 March 1995 IFES 978-1-879720-28-2 19– The initial scheduled date for the elections was 25 September, but by early September only Rahmonov was registered. The Russian and Uzbek governments put pressure on Rahmonov, resulting in the postponement of the election to 6 November and extension of the nomination deadline until 27 October. Campaign Although the second registered candidate, Abdumalik Abdullajanov, was not a decoy figure, the main opposition forces had not been allowed to form political parties and were effectively shut out of political activity prior to the elections. As a result, the opposition boycotted the elections, saying that a fair contest was impossible with Rahmonov in power. Conduct The election process was described in a 1995 US State Department report as favoring the incumbent ruler and being non-fair: intimidation and ballot-box stuffing was reported, vote rigging was suspected.Tajikistan Human Rights Practices, 1994 US Department of State, February 1995 Results Emomali Rahmonov 1434437 Abdumalik Abdullajanov 835861 Against all 2409330 2535777 Nohlen et al.
