Parliamentary elections were held in Mali on 20 July 1997, with a second round on 3 August. They followed the April elections , which had been annulled by the Constitutional Court due to "serious irregularities". The result was a victory for the Alliance for Democracy in Mali , which won 128 of the 147 seats elected in the country, a further 13 being elected by Malians living abroad. The elections were boycotted by the National Congress for Democratic Initiative , the Sudanese Union-African Democratic Rally , the Popular Movement for the Development of the Republic of West Africa , the Rally for Democracy and Progress , the Rally for Labour Democracy , the Union of Democratic Forces for Progress and the Malian Union for Democracy and Development . Voter turnout was just 21.6%.
