I want to know the answer to the following question:
Did Patasse get a majority of the votes?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Patassé's party, the Mouvement pour la Libération du Peuple Centrafricain (MLPC) or Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People, gained a simple but not an absolute majority of seats in parliament, which meant Patassé's party required coalition partners.[citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
