Presidential elections was held in Saint-Baptiste on 5 May 1991, with a runoff on 19 May. The first democratic election since 1947 and under a new constitution, Samuel Lucy of the pro-reformist Movement for Democratic Reform defeated incumbent President Édouard Bachelet, who represented the Democratic Centre Union, the successor to the former Bachelet regime. Lucy's victory in the second round confirmed the strength of liberal democratic forces in Saint-Baptiste following the fall of the authoritarian regime beforehand, and preceded a similar victory for pro-reformist forces in the June parliamentary elections.
Electoral method
The President is elected through a two-round system for a five-year term, renewable once. If no candidate wins an absolute majority of the popular vote, a second round is held between the two candidates who received the largest shares of the vote.
