Military cancels the election to deny the FIS power

On 11 January 1992 the Algerian army forced President Chadli Bendjedid from office and cancelled the second round of the election to prevent a FIS victory, installing a High Council of State. The annulment of a vote the Islamists had clearly won is a defining democracy-axis episode — power denied to the winners of a free election.
