Parliamentary elections were held inAzerbaijan on 12 November 1995, with a second round on 26 November.[1] However, the results in 15 constituencies were declared invalid due to fraud, with fresh elections held on 4 February 1996.[2]
The elections were characterized by substantial irregularities.[3][4][5] In the lead-up to the elections, the authoritarian regime ofHeydar Aliyev (who headed theNew Azerbaijan Party) bannedMusavat, the major opposition party from being on the ballot.[6] The government alleged that Musavat had falsified 5,000 signatures to be on the ballot.[6]
By election day eight parties were on the ballot, five of which were pro-government.[3] 60% of candidates in single-member constituencies had been removed from the ballot.[7] Election monitors noted that there wasballot stuffing.[4]
The final result was a victory for theNew Azerbaijan Party, which won 53 of the 125 seats in theNational Assembly. Voter turnout was 86%.[1]
Under the electoral law introduced prior to the election, 100 of the seats in parliament were elected in single-member districts while the remaining 25 were elected by party list proportional representation.[7]
