Presidential elections were held in the Gambia on 29 September 1996. The first since the 1994 military coup led by Yahya Jammeh, they were also the first elections to be held under the new constitution, and the first presidential elections held separately from parliamentary elections. Voter turnout was exceptionally high, with 88% of the 446,541 registered voters voting. The elections were criticised as unfair due to government crackdowns on journalists and opposition leaders at the time.

  • Die Präsidentschaftswahlen in Gambia 1996 fanden am 26. September 1996 statt. Nach einer Schätzung hatte Gambia 1996 eine Bevölkerung von 1.192.548 Einwohnern. Zwei Jahre nach dem Militärputsch von 1994, waren es die ersten demokratischen Wahlen in dem westafrikanischen Staat Gambia. Anführer der Militärjunta Leutnant Yahya Jammeh, der zuvor aus der Armee ausgetreten war, trat nun als Präsidentschaftskandidat an. Jammeh wurde mit 55,8 % mit einer Amtszeit von fünf Jahren zum Staatspräsidenten gewählt. (de)
  • Las elecciones presidenciales se celebraron en Gambia el 29 de septiembre de 1996. Fueron las primeras elecciones después del golpe de Estado de 1994 liderado por Yahya Jammeh, y las primeras en las que se elegía al presidente antes de celebrarse las elecciones parlamentarias. Debido a eso, el país estaba regido por el Consejo de Gobierno Provisional de las Fuerzas Armadas. La participación electoral fue excepcionalmente alta, con un 88% del electorado registrado votando.

  • Προεδρικές εκλογές διεξήχθησαν στην Γκάμπια στις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου 1996. Ήταν οι πρώτες εκλογές από το στρατιωτικό πραξικόπημα του 1994, του οποίου ηγήθηκε ο Γιαγιά Τζαμέ, και οι πρώτες που διεξήχθησαν ξεχωριστά από τις βουλευτικές εκλογές και με ένα νέο σύνταγμα. Η προσέλευση των ψηφοφόρων ήταν σε εξαιρετικά υψηλά επίπεδα, καθώς το 88% των 446.541 εγγεγραμμένων ψηφοφόρων προσήλθαν στις κάλπες. Οι εκλογές επικρίθηκαν ως άδικες λόγω της κρατικής καταστολής σε δημοσιογράφους και ηγέτες της αντιπολίτευσης. (el)
