The Chadian parliamentary elections of 1997 was the first multi-party parliamentary election held since Chad's independence in 1960. The voting system was similar to that of France, for it rospected runoff voting, with two separate rounds of voting, the first January 5, and the second February 23 in those constituencies where no candidate has gotten more than 50% at the first round.
The elections were won by the ruling Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS); but, according to credible reports, electoral fraud, widespread vote rigging, and local irregularities marred these elections, as the 1996 presidential elections.
