Aftermath

Following the elections, the RPT lodged a complaint with the Supreme Court, resulting in invalidation of three seats (two won by the CAR and one by the UTD). Nevertheless, they maintained a majority in the Assembly, and nominated CAR leader Yawovi Agboyibo for the post of Prime Minister. However, RPT leader President Gnassingbé Eyadéma refused to accept the nomination, and instead appointed UTD leader Edem Kodjo. As a result, the CAR pulled out of their alliance with the UTD, and were replaced in government by the RPT.^[1]

By-elections for the invalidated three seats were held in August 1996, with all three seats won by the RPT.^[2]
