Democratic Republic of the Congo presidential election, 1970

A presidential election was held in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on 1 November 1970. The only candidate was Joseph Mobutu, who had taken power in a military coup five years earlier. The election took the format of a "yes" or "no" vote for Mobutu's candidacy, with the results showing he won more "yes" votes than the number of registered voters, even though voting was not compulsory.〔(DRC: Elections under the Second Republic ) EISA〕
==Background==
Following the promulgation of a new constitution after a referendum in 1964, general elections were held in the newly renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo in March and April in 1965. The elections were won by the Congolese National Convention, led by former secessionist leader Moise Tshombe, which took 122 of the 177 seats. However, President Joseph Kasa-Vubu later dismissed Tshombe and appointed Évariste Kimba of the Congolese Democratic Front Prime Minister instead. In a vote in parliament on 14 November, Kimba failed to have his government approved.〔(DRC: Constitutional Crisis between Kasavubu and Tshombe ) EISA〕 However, Kasa-Vubu reappointed him as Prime Minister the following day. Ten days later Mobutu led a military coup and installed himself as President, banning political parties.
On 20 May 1967 Mobutu formed the Popular Movement of the Revolution . In June 1967 a new constitution was drawn up, establishing a unitary state with a strong executive presidential system and unicameral parliament. It also limited the number of political parties to two, and enfranchised women.〔 It was approved by a referendum in which 97.8% of voters voted for it.〔(Elections in Congo-Kinshasa ) African Elections Database〕
Following a census in early 1970, presidential elections were organised for 1 November. The date was set so that Mobutu would have passed his fortieth birthday by the time the elections occurred, as the constitution stated that candidates must be at least forty years old.〔
