The 1993–1997 Bolivian National Congress was a meeting of the Bolivian legislature composed of the Chamber of Senators and Chamber of Deputies. It met in La Paz from August 1993 to August 1997 during the presidency of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.

The Congress was elected as part of the general elections on 6 June 1993.

Congressional presidential ballot

As no candidate reached the required popular vote majority, the newly elected Congress elected the president on 6 August.

Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada of the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR) was the only candidate voted on and was elected with the support of Solidarity Civic Unity (UCS) and the Free Bolivia Movement (MBL). All other parties abstained.[1]
