From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in Rwanda on 28 December 1981, the first since 1969. The country was still a one-party state, but now with the National Revolutionary Movement for Development as the sole legal party in place of MDR-Parmehutu, following the 1978 constitutional referendum. The Legislative Assembly, renamed National Development Council, was enlarged from 47 to 64 seats, with two candidates fighting each constituency.[1] Voter turnout was 96%.
