1989 Nigerien general election

General elections were held in Niger on 12 December 1989 to elect a President and National Assembly. They were the first elections since 1970, and followed the approval of a new constitution in a referendum in September, which had made the country a one-party state with the National Movement for the Development of Society as the sole legal party. As a result, its leader, the incumbent president Ali Saibou, was elected unopposed, and the party won all 93 seats in the Assembly.[1] Voter turnout was 95.1%.[2]

gollark: It seems like they just completely disregarded the benefits of asynchronous communication, and decided that they had to make it as much like normal in-person school as possible, even despite the detriment to... actually teaching things.
gollark: I got an email from them (not even to me directly, forwarded from my parents) and:- the removed week of the summer term is being added to the end- they seem to expect to reopen in a month or so?- half the lessons will apparently now involve "human interaction", implying video calls or something, which will be *really annoying*, instead of having them just set work- they're running a timetable?!- I'm expected to be up by 08:45⸘
gollark: (that's not the annoying bit, I'm still typing)
gollark: So my school is being very annoying. There's been a somewhat longer easter holiday, but that ends soon and I'm going back to (remote) school.
gollark: Even with root, I've found it really irritatingly hard to do some things with my phone.
