Parliamentary elections were held inTogo on 21 March 1999. They were boycotted by the eight opposition parties, who been rebuffed in their insistence that talks following the controversialpresidential elections the previous year must be completed prior to the parliamentary elections. As a result only three parties ran in the elections, the rulingRally of the Togolese People (RPT), together with two small parties allied with it; theCoordination of New Forces and the Pan African Environmentalist Party. In addition, twelve independent candidates also ran.
The result was an overwhelming victory for the RPT, which won 79 of the 81 seats, the other two going to independents.[1]
