1993 Togolese presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Togo on 25 August 1993. They were the first presidential elections in the country to feature more than one candidate. However, the major opposition parties boycotted the election, and only two minor candidates ran against incumbent President Gnassingbé Eyadéma, who ultimately won over 95% of the vote.[1] Voter turnout was just 36.2%.[2]

gollark: I made a VFS thing which was barely good enough to sort of work for potatOS.
gollark: Also, dealing with file handles is irritating when 90% of the time you just want to read/write a string to a file (or HTTP handle, even).
gollark: I mean, `window` contains this whole neat framebuffer thing internally, but until `getLine` came along didn't expose any of it.
