Aftermath
The Assembly produced a new constitution which was approved in a referendum, and promulgated the following year.[3] It abolished the National Council of Administration, replacing it with a nine-member Council of Ministers, in which the second party was guaranteed three members.[3] It also gave the party that had finished second in parliamentary elections half the seats in the Senate.[3]
