Panamanian general election, 1994
The Panama held a general election on 8 May 1994, electing both a new President of the Republic and a new Legislative Assembly.
"On 8 May 1994, Ernesto Pérez Balladares of the PRD was elected president of Panama with about 33.3 percent of the popular vote. His party also achieved an effective majority in the new National Assembly. The big surprise was not the victory of the PRD, but the nearly successful challenge of Mireya Moscoso de Gruber, the candidate of the Arnulfista Party".[1]
