They followed the previous year's elections, the results of which had been voided by the Supreme Court due to irregularities.Elections in the Central African Republic https://web.archive.org/web/20110927011632/http://africanelections.tripod.com/cf.html 2011-09-27 African Elections Database The presidential elections were won by Ange-Félix Patassé of the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People, who defeated Patriotic Front for Progress leader Abel Goumba in the second round. Incumbent president André Kolingba was eliminated in the first round, winning only 12% of the vote. When it became apparent that Kolingba was headed for defeat, he attempted to cling to power by issuing two decrees on 28 August that changed the composition of the Supreme Court and amended the electoral code, which would have allowed the results to be manipulated. However, Kolingba repealed the decrees under heavy pressure from France.Elections held in 1993 IPU The National Assembly election results also saw a victory for the MLPC, which won 34 of the 85 seats, short of a majority. Kolingba's party, the Central African Democratic Rally–the only legally permitted party from 1986 to 1992–finished second, with 13 seats. When Patassé took office on 22 October, it marked the first—and to date, only—time since the Central African Republic gained independence that an incumbent government peacefully transferred power to the opposition. Electoral system The President was elected using the two-round system, with a run-off held after no candidate received a majority of the vote in the first round. The 85 members of the National Assembly were elected from single-member constituencies, also using the two-round system.CAR: 1993 National Assembly election results EISA Results President Ange-Félix Patassé Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People 302004 363297 Abel Goumba Patriotic Front for Progress 175467 315935 David Dacko David Dacko Movement 162721 André Kolingba Central African Democratic Rally 97942 Enoch Derant Lakoué Social Democratic Party 19368 Timothée Malendoma Civic Forum 16400 François Bozizé Independent 12159 Jeanne-Marie Ruth Rolland Central African Republican Party 8068 793971 679235 15317 13362 1181874 1235568 EISAIn the first round the reported number of valid votes was less than the total of votes cast for the eight candidates; in the second round, the reported number of valid votes was higher than the total of votes cast for the two candidates.
