French legislative elections took place on 21 and 28 March 1993 to elect the 10th National Assembly of the Fifth Republic. Since 1988 President François Mitterrand and his Socialist cabinets had relied on a relative parliamentary majority. In an attempt to avoid having to work with the Communists Prime Minister Michel Rocard tried to gain support from the UDF by appointing four UDF ministers. After the UDF withdrew its support for the government in 1991 Rocard and the UDF ministers resigned.
