1960 Ivorian general election

General elections were held in Ivory Coast on 27 November 1960 to elect a President and National Assembly. Under the constitution enacted that year, the country was officially a one-party state with the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire – African Democratic Rally (PDCI-RDA) as the sole legal party. Its leader, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, was automatically elected to a five-year term as president and unanimously confirmed in office via a referendum. A single list of PDCI-RDA candidates won all 70 seats in the National Assembly.[1] Voter turnout was 95.9% in the parliamentary election and 98.8% in the presidential election.[2]
