General elections were held in Bolivia on 6 June 1993.[1] As no candidate for the presidency received over 50% of the vote, the National Congress was required to elect a President on 4 August. Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada of the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement–Revolutionary Liberation Movement Tupaq Katari alliance was subsequently elected unopposed.

Campaign

Prior to the elections the Nationalist Democratic Action and Revolutionary Left Movement parties formed the Patriotic Accord alliance, whilst eight left-wing parties continued the United Left coalition.[2]
