- São Tomé and Príncipe presidential election, 1991
The first direct presidential election in São Tomé and Príncipe open to multiple candidates was held on 3 March 1991. Voter turnout was approximately 60%.
Three candidates stated their intention to participate in the historical contest: Miguel Trovoada, a former prime minister running as an independent (with the support of both the PCD-GR and CODO), Monso dos Santos of the Christian Democratic Front (FDC) and Guadalupe de Ceita, an independent candidate. Manuel Pinto da Costa, President since independence in 1975, declared that he would not be contesting the election and that he would retire from politics. The MLSTP-PSD did not present an alternative candidate.
In February, less than a month before the election, both Monso dos Santos and Guadalupe de Ceita withdrew from the election leaving Trovoada as the sole candidate.
