In the presidential election, incumbent president Hassan Gouled Aptidon was the only candidate for the presidency, and was re-elected unopposed.^[1] In the National Assembly elections, voters were presented with a single list of 65 RPP candidates. They could only vote against by casting a blank vote or abstaining.^[2] The list was approved by 87% of registered voters.^[3] Voter turnout for the National Assembly vote was slightly lower at 88.69%.^[2]
