Parliamentary elections were held in
Mali on 20 July 1997, with a second round on 3 August. They followed the
April elections, which had been annulled by the Constitutional Court due to "serious irregularities".
[1] The result was a victory for the
Alliance for Democracy in Mali, which won 128 of the 147 seats elected in the country, a further 13 being elected by Malians living abroad. The elections were boycotted by the
National Congress for Democratic Initiative, the
Sudanese Union-African Democratic Rally, the
Popular Movement for the Development of the Republic of West Africa, the
Rally for Democracy and Progress, the
Rally for Labour Democracy, the
Union of Democratic Forces for Progress and the
Malian Union for Democracy and Development.
[2] Voter turnout was just 21.6%.
