Parliamentary elections were held in the
Communist Party member Anatolijs Gorbunovs
as its chairman, effectively the leader of Latvia. He subsequently resigned from the party, and a year later the Communist Party was banned by the parliament.
The elected parliament was responsible for some of the most important decisions in modern Latvian history, such as the declaration of renewed independence from the Soviet Union.
It was the first and only free election to the Supreme Soviet of Latvian SSR. The next parliament was elected as Saeima in 1993.[2]
Voting was held on the same day as an election in the Estonian SSR and Latvian municipal elections.
