Presidential elections were held in Ivory Coast on 22 October 1995. They were boycotted by the main opposition parties, the Ivorian Popular Front and the Rally of the Republicans, resulting in only one candidate challenging incumbent Henri Konan Bédié, who in his role as President of the National Assembly, had succeeded long-term President Félix Houphouët-Boigny after his death in 1993. Bédié was ultimately re-elected with 96.44% of the vote, with a turnout of 56.2%.[1]
