'''Presidential elections''' were held in [[Niger]] on 27 February 1993, with a second round on 27 March after no candidate passed the 50% barrier in the first round. They followed the constitutional changes approved in a [[Nigerien constitutional referendum, 1992|referendum]] the previous year, which re-introduced multi-party democracy, and were the first presidential elections to feature more than one candidate. Although [[Mamadou Tandja]] of the [[National Movement for the Development of Society]] (which had emerged as the largest party in the [[Nigerien parliamentary election, 1993|parliamentary elections]]) won the most votes in the first round, he lost in the second round to [[Mahamane Ousmane]] of the [[Democratic and Social Convention]] party.<ref name=AED>[http://africanelections.tripod.com/dj.html Elections in Djibouti] African Elections database</ref> Voter turnout was only around 32% in the first round and 35.2% in the second.<ref name=AED/> |

After adoption of a new Constitution in December 1992, Niger conducted in early 1993 its first multiparty presidential and legislative elections since independence in 1960. In the presidential elections, which international observers judged to be free and fair, eight parties banded together against the party created by the former military rulers to elect Mahamane Ousmane as President of the Third Republic. Nine parties won representation in the National Assembly elections. The governing coalition, the Alliance of the Forces of Change (AFC), led by Prime Minister Mohamadou Issoufou, consists of six parties with 50 of the total of 83 Assembly seats. The former ruling party, the National Movement for the Development of Society (MNSD-Nassara), won 29 seats in the Assembly and now leads the opposition.<ref name=ussdhr94>[http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/democracy/1993_hrp_report/93hrp_report_africa/Niger.html NIGER HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES, 1993].

Presidential elections were held in Niger on 27 February 1993, with a second round on 27 March after no candidate passed the 50% barrier in the first round. They followed the constitutional changes approved in a referendum the previous year, which re-introduced multi-party democracy, and were the first presidential elections to feature more than one candidate. Although Mamadou Tandja of the National Movement for the Development of Society (which had emerged as the largest party in the parliamentary elections) won the most votes in the first round, he lost in the second round to Mahamane Ousmane of the Democratic and Social Convention party.[1] Voter turnout was only around 32% in the first round and 35.2% in the second.[1]
