The general election date was announced on 7 April 1989, and the campaign was formally opened on 22 April by President of the Republic Mathieu Kerekou. Consultation on selection of candidates for the enlarged National Revolutionary Assembly took place from 8 to 18 May.
On polling day, the single list of the Parti de la révolution populaire du Bénin (PRPB) – the country's sole political party – was widely approved. Of an 86% voter turnout, 89.6% reportedly voted for the list and only 9.7% against. On 2 August, the National Assembly re-elected Mr. Kerekou President for another five-year term. He announced the composition of his Cabinet two days later. |
