1990 Ivorian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Ivory Coast on 25 November 1990, the first since the restoration of multi-party democracy earlier in the year. ^{[1] [2]} Although 17 of the 25 legalised parties ran in the election, nearly half of the 490 candidates were from the former sole legal party, the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast – African Democratic Rally (PDCI). ^[3] The PDCI won a landslide victory, taking 163 of 175 seats with 72% of the vote. Only two other parties (plus two independents) got into the legislature, winning just 12 seats between them. ^[4] Voter turnout was 42%.
