President Benjedid resigned on January 11, citing "widespread election irregularities" and a risk of "grave civil instability." The military then reappointed Sid Ahmed Ghozali as prime minister.
Ghozali was also named to head the new High Security Council (Haut Conseil de Sécurité--HCS), a six-member advisory body dominated by such senior military officials as Major General Nezzar and Major General Larbi Belkheir.

The two successive prime ministers, Sid Ahmed Ghozali and Belaid Abdesselam, appointed respectively in 1991 and 1992, represented the old Boumedienist-populist guard staunchly opposed to the rescheduling of the national debt and to Algeria’s joining the global economy, which finally occured in 1995.
Although by all accounts the general strike was a failure, the new prime minister turned it into a total success by promising a new election law and "clean and honest suffrage," a clear admission of attempted electoral fraud.
Not long ago, the military coup thwarting the expression of popular will in 1992 was equated by the representative of the FIS in Europe, Rabah Kebir, to the overthrow of Haitian President Aristide in 1991; he called on the United States to treat it as such.

However, the new authorities in Algiers banked on their "historical legitimacy" as the victors over French colonialism to outlaw the parties that were created after independence, such as Hocine Ait Ahmed's Socialist Forces Front and Mohamed Boudiaf's Socialist Revolutionary Party.
