A constitutional referendum was held in
Niger on 24 September 1989. The new constitution would make the country a
one-party state with the
National Movement for the Development of Society as the sole legal party. The government would have a
presidential system, as well as the continued involvement of the
Armed Forces, which had ruled the country since the
military coup in 1974.
It was approved by 99.3% of voters with a 94.9% turnout.
[1] The first
elections under the new constitution were held later in the year on 12 December.
