Bosnia and Herzegovina municipal elections, 1990

The municipal elections of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1990 were won by several parties. In most municipalities they organized governments in coalitions, or independently if they had a large majority.

In most municipalities with either a relative or absolute Croatian majority, Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ) won a majority of the vote and the right to choose the mayor. Only in Vareš -- a municipality with a relative Croatian majority -- did HDZ not win a majority of votes. HDZ also won elections in Bugojno, Fojnica and Mostar (a Bosniak relative majority) and Modriča and Derventa (a Serbian relative majority).

Nationally, Fikret Abdić gained the most votes to become President. He never assumed the presidency however, leaving it to Alija Izetbegović.
