1999 Central African Republic Presidential Election
Presidential elections were held in the Central African Republic on 19 September 1999. The result was a victory for incumbent President Ange-Félix Patassé of the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People, who received 51.33% of the vote in the first round, meaning that a second round was not required. Voter turnout was 59.1%. Prior to Constitutional Court head Édouard Frank announcing the results, all nine opposition candidates rejected the outcome, claiming the elections were rigged. However, observers stated that any malpractice was not enough to have changed the results. '''' 3 October 1999 Results |
Ange-Félix Patassé

Patassé was the first president in the CAR's history (since 1960) to be chosen in what was generally regarded as a fairly democratic election ( 1993) in that it was brought about by donor pressure on President André Kolingba and assisted by the United Nations Electoral Assistance Unit. He was chosen a second time in a fair election (1999) as well. However, during his first term in office (1993–1999), three military mutinies in 1996–1997 led to increasing conflict between so-called "northerners" (like Patassé) and "southerners" (like his predecessor President André Kolingba).
