		Elections in 1996 led to a runoff that was won by the Dominican Liberation party candidate, Leonel Fernández Reyna.
		Although the country enjoyed steady economic growth under Fernández, farmers and poorer Dominicans saw little improvement in their well-being, and his term was marred by corruption scandals.
