2020–21 Nigerien general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General elections were held in Niger on 27 December 2020 to elect the President and National Assembly.[1] With incumbent president Mahamadou Issoufou stepping down following his two terms constitutional limit, new presidential candidates competed for office. As no presidential candidate received a majority of the vote on the first round, a second round was held on 21 February 2021.[2] The ruling Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS) candidate Mohamed Bazoum was declared the winner, beating Mahamane Ousmane in the second round with 56% of the vote.[3] In the National Assembly elections the PNDS won 79 of the 166 seats, falling just short of a majority.
