Although Lissouba favored Ange-Edouard Poungui for the post of President of the National Assembly, he could not prevent the opposition from electing the candidate of its choice.
[10][11] Although the PCT had been severely weakened by the events of the 1991–1992 transition, the election of Mouélé was a powerful reminder of the fact that it still had a key role to play in Congolese politics.
[10] Because President Lissouba was unwilling to appoint Kolélas, the URD–PCT alliance passed a vote of no-confidence against the government of Prime Minister Stéphane Maurice Bongho-Nouarra[10][12] on 31 October 1992.
[10][13] Under the circumstances, Lissouba had few viable options available under the constitution; still unwilling to appoint Kolélas, he chose to dissolve the National Assembly[10][13] on 17 November, after it had been sitting for only two months.
[10] The political crisis precipitated by Lissouba's dissolution of the National Assembly was resolved through the formation of an opposition-dominated power-sharing government, led by Prime Minister Claude Antoine Dacosta.
By assuaging the URD–PCT alliance, the Dacosta government was intended to stabilize the political situation and produce the appropriate conditions for the organization of an early parliamentary election, which was held in May 1993.
