1987 Djiboutian general election
General elections were held in Djibouti on 24 April 1987 to elect a President and National Assembly. At the time, the country was a one-party state with the People's Rally for Progress (RPP) as the only legally permitted party. In the presidential election, incumbent president Hassan Gouled Aptidon was the only candidate for the presidency, and was re-elected unopposed.[1] In the National Assembly elections, the RPP presented voters with a single list of 65 candidates for the 65-member National Assembly, which was approved by 87% of voters.[2] Voter turnout for the National Assembly vote was slightly lower at 88.69%.[3]

gollark: I assumed you were talking about religion there initially given the phrasing, which I do consider to involve horrible punishment for dubious ethical reasons. But in general it seems to basically just mean "punishment", with connotations of "in accordance with some allegedly fair procedure(s)".
gollark: Secularly, people generally mean "punish people" when they talk about justice as far as I can tell.
gollark: Well, religiously, "justice" seems to mostly be "eternally torturing people".
gollark: I mean, I suppose you can define it that way, but then it becomes a less useful concept and OH BEE HE HAS COME HERE
gollark: "Justice" in that context always seems to involve "horribly punishing people", for dubiously ethical reasons.
