Early Regional Council elections were held in Réunion in June 1993.[1] The Free Dom party remained the largest on the Council, winning 12 of the 45 seats.[2]
Background
Following the
1992 elections, Free Dom formed an alliance with Communist Party, with the two holding 26 seats. Free Dom leader Camille Sudre was subsequently elected President of the Council with a majority of 27 votes.[1]
However, the
