Presidential elections were held for the first time in São Tomé and Príncipe on 3 March 1991, as previously the President had been elected by the National Assembly. Ultimately only one candidate, Miguel Trovoada, ran for office, and was elected unopposed. The MLSTP-PSD had called for voters to boycott the election.
Trovoada was sworn in as the second president of São Tomé and Príncipe on 3 April.
