-
General elections were held in Mali on 19 June 1979. They followed the referendum, which approved a new constitution allowing for the direct election of the President for the first time. The country was also a one-party state at the time, with the Democratic Union of the Malian People (UDPM) as the sole legal party. Its leader, Moussa Traoré, who had overthrown Modibo Keïta in 1968, was the only candidate, and was elected unopposed.[1] In the National Assembly elections the UDPM won all 82 seats. Voter turnout was reported to be 97%.[2]
