1980 Gabonese parliamentary election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in Gabon on 24 February 1980. The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Gabonese Democratic Party as the sole legal party, thereby winning all 89 seats in the enlarged National Assembly. Voter turnout was 108% of the number of registered voters,[1] although this was caused by voters being able to register on election day.[2]
