In February 1996, the ruling ODP / MT merged with several small opposition parties to form the Congress for Democracy and Progress ( CDP ).
This effectively co-opted much of what little viable opposition to Compaoré existed.
The remaining opposition parties regrouped in preparation for 1997 legislative elections and the 1998 presidential election.
The 1997 legislative elections, which international observers pronounced to be substantially free, fair, and transparent, resulted in a large CDP majority — 101 to 111 seats.
