This would be the lowest vote share Stroessner would claim in the six elections in which he nominally faced an opponent; on the other occasions, he claimed to win by margins of well over 80 percent. It would also be the only time in Stroessner's 35-year tenure that an opposition candidate would manage even 20 percent of the vote.
