A coup by military units in December 1995 by [[Vito Borbon]], referred to as the [[Coup of 3 December 1995|3 of December]], marked the decline of far-left influence in Delepasia. On this day, under the pretense of a far-left radio takeover of a radio station, Emperor Maximilian I declared a state of emergency, and sent loyal velvetine commandos led by Colonel [[Raimundo Carrillo]] to seize the city of Santa Maria. Revolutionary units within Santa Maria were quickly surrounded and forced to surrender; about 250 leftists were arrested, and COLINA was abolished. The steelheads' ability to institute its goals had diminished without the support of the military, and people returned to their jobs and daily routines after eighteen months of political and social turmoil.

These elections could be said to be the definitive end of the period of revolution. Moderate democratic parties received most of the vote, with a coalition government being formed between the PNC and the PDP. Revolutionary achievements were not discarded, however. The constitution pledged the country to realise {{wp|socialism}}. Furthermore, the constitution declared that the extensive nationalisations and land seizures of 1995 were irreversible.
